About

Gabriella Somerville

A lifelong love of aviation has taken Gabriella around the world, from leading aviation businesses to working with extraordinary people and organisations across many different countries. She is passionate about encouraging others to believe in what is possible, whatever their starting point. During time spent in Kenya in 2021, Gabriella was inspired by the beauty, strength and resilience of Africa’s wildlife. It was there that the idea for Zuri the Beautiful Giraffe and the Honking Hippo began. Written during a break from aviation, Zuri is a story about courage, kindness, friendship and finding your way when life takes an unexpected turn. Gabriella hopes Zuri will encourage children to be brave, believe in themselves, and never stop dreaming.

  • Zuri the Beautiful Giraffe and the Honking Hippo By Gabriella Somerville

    Zuri the Beautiful Giraffe and the Honking Hippo

    Zuri means beautiful. Born beneath the golden skies of East Africa, Zuri is a young giraffe with a long neck, curious eyes and a heart full of dreams. She loves exploring beyond the baobab trees and, most of all, being close to her mama, Meeka. But one day, a great storm changes everything, and Zuri finds herself on an unexpected journey to a faraway land. Along the way, she meets kind humans, a little girl named Sophie, and an old friend with a very big laugh – the honking hippo. With friendship to guide her and courage in her heart, Zuri discovers that sometimes home is not just a place. It can be found in the people who love you, the friends you make, and the hope you carry with you. A tender and uplifting story about courage, friendship, love and finding your way home.
