A long time ago, under the deep orange African sky, giraffes and crocodiles lived peacefully together.

The book is recommended for children from the age of six. "Rafu" connects an old African legend with a modern story about friendship, belief in higher powers and the deep wish for a peaceful life. The book tells the story of an extraordinary giraffe, who, thanks to his friendship with a little crocodile, reveals an important secret about a cave and thus paves the way for the long-desired peace between crocodiles and giraffes.
