Žirafy mají velikánské srdce – Chanfreau Sofia (2024)

Ah, the heart! It breaks easily, but is hard to heal. Thank goodness a person doesn't have three like an octopus! ***** Nine-year-old Vega lives with her dad on Giraffe Island. This island resembles a giraffe in shape, and in the middle of it lies a gigantic lake called Giraffe's Heart, whose clear, warm water invites swimming. Meanwhile, her dad's heart is turned into a chunk of ice by the frostily beautiful Viola... At least that's how it seems to Vega, and that's why she decides to take action. Together with her friend Nelson, his dog Flora, and wonderfully eccentric Grandpa Hector, she sets off on a wild ride through Krkošije and Tělokraj to the mainland. Will Vega find her mom, whom she has never known, during the journey? And will she manage to warm her dad's heart? ***** Vega lives in a remarkable world where flowerbeds are watered with lemonade and everywhere there are spoonbills, freeloaders, and walrus bears, but for her, in the end, the most important thing is one — to belong somewhere and be accepted for who she is. ***** A treat for passionate readers and a family treasure for reading aloud.
