ACHUKA Book of the Day 6 Mar 2026
Publisher: Gecko Press
ISBN: 9798765673041
“Softly drawn with faint black dots for eyes, a simple curved line for a mouth, and a rounded black-tipped nose, Josephine is an easygoing yet expressive character whose mild presence stands in contrast to her imposing frame… Simultaneously tranquil and thought provoking.” KIRKUS
This English language edition of a charming board book first published in 2022 is brought to us by Gecko Press, in a translation by Daniel Hahn.
Little yellow giraffe Josephine is out and about—eyes wide open and muzzle in the air. She pokes her nose into the blue and her hooves into the green, plays with the clouds and makes rings in the water. The world is so full of interesting things!
Illustrated with simple lines and printed with a happy pop of neon yellow, this unique book makes simple but enchanting connections that let us see the world afresh through Josephine’s eyes.

Josefina, de Chloé AlmérasAmunt, avall, a l’horitzó o ben bé a tocar… la Josefina no para mai d’observar amb els ulls ben oberts i el coll estirat.🐦✨
Una oda a la senzillesa, al gaudi de la natura i a la pausa que ens convida a observar amb calma.🍃 pic.twitter.com/RR2PjykT1D— BAULA (@baula_editorial) September 18, 2025
