Gigaguhl’s Gigantic Joy
Children & Young Adult, Picture-Books, Picture-Books Age 4+
Do you know Gigaguhl, the giant?
Despite his great size, Gigaguhl is extremely friendly. He especially loves animals. A family of bats sleeps under his arms. Goats hide among the hills of his neck. And a rare unicorn lives deep in his hair.
One evening, Gigaguhl feels very tired, so he covers himself with a colorful summer meadow and sleeps for a hundred years. During that time, a city springs up across the expanse of his back. Of course, its residents have no idea who is slumbering beneath them… until two curious children go out exploring and experience a gigantic adventure.
