Gemina stood out from the other giraffes at the Santa Barbara Zoo. She was the famous crooked-neck giraffe. Everyone who saw her wondered if she was all right? Did her neck hurt? As months passed, Gemina's neck leaned more and more to the side but it never seemed to bother her. Gemina’s uniqueness never prevented her from being fully accepted into the herd. Told with affection and illustrated with oil paintings, this is Gemina's story, a celebration of the life of a very special giraffe.
