Betcha can't find one million giraffes!

One Million GiraffesIt all began with a bet: somewhere in Norway, Ola bet Jorgen that he could collect one million hand-drawn giraffes in one year. And you know what?

He did.

 

The proof is at OneMillionGiraffes.com. And now you can buy a 32-page hardcover book, aptly called OMG! One Million Giraffes featuring the giraffe images from all over the world, in a mosaic form reminiscent of an artsy Where's Waldo? But with giraffes.

Each unique giraffe had to be created by hand-- not computer--and was submitted by everyday people, simply to see if one man's wacky but interesting dream could come true. The contributors crossed every continent and demographic, from babies to kids to regular folks to professional book illustrators. To moms like myself.

It's true! I submitted a giraffe, and you can see my giraffe here.

They're always accepting more, so get your kids to the easel. It always feels good to be part of something big and spotty, whatever your age. ~Delilah

Buy OMG! One Million Giraffes at our affiliate, Amazon. You can also play a game to guess the age of the artists on the One Million Giraffes website. I'm apparently 18.5, which about how I feel.

I LOVE this! What a fun idea and project. My daughter is going to be a giraffe for Halloween, actually. :) I just might need to get this book for her.
