Award-winning news correspondent, Lynn Sherr, went to Africa for the first time in 1973 and fell in love – with giraffes. These towering, yet graceful anomalies of the animal world, elegantly dressed in their golden, stained-glass coats were a revelation to her. And as someone tall and blonde herself, Sherr felt an immediate bond with these gentle giants, which has continued to this day.

Join Ms. Sherr as she travels to Giraffe Manor, a sanctuary outside Narirobi, Kenya, where giraffes are expected breakfast companions; and to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, where we see the birth of a healthy six-foot-tall baby giraffe, and Ms. Sherr takes part in its first neo-natal exam. Another exciting sequence features Ms. Sherr as an exhilarated but wary participant in an African giraffe relocation program. Based on the book Tall Blondes: A Book About Giraffes by Lynn Sherr, this affectionate, informative and personal portrait of these remarkable animals is irresistible. You’ll find you don’t have to be tall or blonde to fall in love with giraffes.
