"Here in Parlement of Giraffes, children are welcomed into Villa's magical world of poetry where they may speak to giraffes; invite a tiger for the weekend; observe pink and blue monks eating pink and blue raisins; eat snails, mussels and mermaids; learn that from peaches, polar bears are made; dance with God among the strawberries; and even join God laughing, strolling upside down." -Jose Garcia Villa
