Not A Spot to Spot Illustrated by Zoe Waring

A new picture book from the celebrated Paula Wiseman Books imprint (now under the stewardship of Beach Lane Books) brings together the talents of author Elizabeth Weiss Verdick and beloved illustrator Zoe Waring in an adorable and uplifting picture book celebrates the joys of being unique. Based on the true story of Kipekee, a rare reticulated giraffe born without spots who captured the world’s heart.

It’s summertime at the Brights Zoo and something very special is due… a new baby giraffe! And this giraffe is extra extraordinary. She is all one shade—not a spot to spot! Mama loves her baby unconditionally and knows she is perfectly herself, but will everyone else see it, too?
