Chee-Lin: A Giraffe’s Journey by James Rumford - ADVISABLE

Chee-Lin: A Giraffe’s Journey by James Rumford
. PICTURE BOOK. Houghton, 2008.

EL – ADVISABLE

Hundreds of years ago, a young giraffe was captured in Africa and through many hardships was brought to the court of the emperor of China, where they believe that he is the legendary Chee-lin: a mythical character of great fortune.

This is a sweet telling of the possible life and journey of a giraffe that did live in the imperial court back in the 1400’s. It’s a beautiful book that would add flavor to a unit about China or about giraffes.
