<p>&ldquo;My kids loved your book,&nbsp;<em>Inviting a Giraffe to Tea</em>&rdquo; Michael&nbsp;Mubangizi said as we were starting our&nbsp;workday at Uganda Christian University. The&nbsp;young Ugandan father of two added, &ldquo;the&nbsp;only problem is that they kept wanting to&nbsp;color the animals, which would&nbsp;have affected&nbsp;the beauty of the book.&rdquo;&nbsp;The seed was planted. Somewhere on the plane ride from Entebbe,&nbsp;Uganda, to&nbsp;Addis, Ethiopia, and then Washington, D.C., I got the&nbsp;idea that my hardcover book, <em>Inviting a Giraffe to Tea</em>, which was&nbsp;published in July 2017, should be supplemented with a coloring&nbsp;book. It made even more sense when I articulated the concept to&nbsp;my book&rsquo;s illustrator and designer. After all, six African animals in&nbsp;the book get along with each other&nbsp;regardless of differences that&nbsp;include color.</p><p>So, this coloring book is provided for the young and young at&nbsp;heart who dare to be different. These pages with facts and images&nbsp;of a giraffe, elephant, lion, zebra, rhinoceros and leopard beg for&nbsp;creativity. In addition to encouragement to add color not normally&nbsp;associated with certain animals, people, places and things, each&nbsp;black and white page has&nbsp;discussion questions as part of the&nbsp;voyage.</p><p>Embrace this journey, and enjoy the passage.</p>
