On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with DK Ryland about her newest picture book: Giraffe’s Book is Missing a Story.

It’s the sequel to her debut picture book, Giraffe is Too Tall for This Book and it invites readers into an interactive experience along with 6 furry friends to face the blank page together.  

Come listen as we talk about DK’s journey to illustrating and writing, the interactive nature of the book that is sure to invite students into the page and the fun end pages that made us smile. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/07/14/interacting-with-readers-giraffes-book-is-missing-a-story-with-dk-ryland/
