Giraffes Can’t Dance – an interview with Lori Orlinsky

Podcast #060

For my sixtieth Dream Gardens kid lit podcast, I interviewed author Lori Orlinsky about the picture book Giraffes Can’t Dance, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. With his long neck and skinny legs, Gerald the Giraffe just wasn’t made for dancing. Or so he thinks, until a friendly cricket tells him that he’s just got to find the right music to figure how to dance in his own special way.

Lori Orlinsky is author of the picture book Being Small (isn’t so bad after all) published by Mascot Books. You can find the Mascot Books website at mascotbooks.com

My next podcast will be with author Dania Ramos talking about Call Me Maria by Judith Ortiz Cofer . It will be published on September 16th.
