This helped me have a better picture in my mind of what's happening and how the characters and animals looked like. There is a narrator in the story and they are emotional and really describes the characters and the setting to the audience very well. I really enjoyed how the emotion affects the story because it made the characters more realistic and more believable. The voice in this story gives a lot of emotion, and by having that emotion, more details came out and I could picture the story better.
I would definitely recommend this book because of the voice the author uses to tell the story. Had she seen it? Is it really a white giraffe? A split second later the sky goes dark and it’s gone. But one night while it was storming, Martine looked out her window, and thought she saw a tall, silvery creature near the watering hole. Even her grandmother says that is a legend. They say that no one has ever seen the animal, but it leaves footprints behind. When Martine arrives, she hears about the legends of the White Giraffe. Her only living relative was her grandma, who lived in Africa.
