SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Expound
Publicity is pleased to announce the release of A Tall Tale: How
the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs, written by
Scott Sollers, with illustrations by
Alejandro Echavez
This is the story of two rival communities –The Have-Alls and
the Have-Nots. The Have-Alls live in a fertile valley while
the Have-Nots live in a desolate and barren space. When the
Have-Nots get jealous of the Have-Alls, a tug of war ensues, with
their pet squatz caught in the middle.
Through this heartfelt and beautifully illustrated book, Sollers
teaches young readers moral lessons about the pitfalls of envy and
the virtues of compromise and collaboration.
Sollers created this book and other nighttime stories for his
daughter, Stephanie, when she was a youngster. Originally, he
handwrote and illustrated these stories, and finally had the
inspiration to get them published.
A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit
the Leanne B. Roberts African Savanna habitat at the San Francisco
Zoo. Additionally, guests may purchase their own copy of A Tall
Tale: How the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs at
the Zoo's Wildlife Connection Gift Shop.
"The generous donation made by Mr. Sollers to the SF Zoo will
contribute to the health and wellness of our ostrich residents in
our African Savanna Habitat," said Paulo
Vergara, Vice President of Guest Connections.
Prior to its release, the book has received several accolades,
including a Gold Mom's Choice Award, a Literary Titan Award and
glowing 5-star reviews from prestigious outlets.
Sollers is an investment banker, an avid golfer, and leads a
not-for-profit organization that helps disadvantaged children. He
currently resides in San Mateo,
California, with his cat, Charlie. He currently has several
more Stephanie's Stories books in the works.
