3 posts | 1 read

When Anne Innis Dagg saw her first giraffe in a zoo she was entranced. So much so that a love for giraffes shaped her whole life. She decided at a young age that she would one day travel from her home in Canada to study giraffes in their natural environment in Africa. After overcoming obstacles based on her gender, Anne succeeded in fulfilling her dream in 1956 and became the world's leading scientific expert on giraffes. In The Girl Who Loved Giraffes, Kathy Stinson and Francois Thisdale have created a beautiful picture book that captures the dramatic story of Anne's life, the majestic beauty of giraffes and fascinating facts about this most intriguing and magnificent creature.

The Girl Who Loved Giraffes: And Became the World's First Giraffologist | Kathy Stinson

Anne Innis Dagg faced gender discrimination all her life, but followed her passion anyway. She studied giraffes in Africa in the 1950s & became the world‘s leading expert on them. Then, despite her PhD in Animal Behaviour & having published many scientific articles, no university would hire her. So she wrote books about giraffes & campaigned for women‘s rights to work in their fields of choice. An inspiring Canadian picture book biography.
