About this event
"West with Giraffes" is a historical fiction novel by Lynda Rutledge, inspired by the true story of two giraffes that traveled from New York to the San Diego Zoo in 1938. The narrative follows 17-year-old Woodrow Wilson Nickel, who experiences a coming-of-age journey while driving the giraffes across America during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl era. The story explores themes of resilience, hope, and the impact of animals on human lives.
