Tippi

My book of Africa takes the reader on a journey into Africa and into the world of a ten-year-old girl called Tippi. Tippi is no ordinary child. She believes that she has the gift of talking to animals and that they are like brothers to her. 'I speak to them with my mind, or through my eyes, my heart or my soul, and I see that they understand and answer me.' Tippi is the daughter of French filmmakers and wildlife photographers, Alain Degre and Sylvie Robert, who have captured her on film with some of Africa's most beautiful and dangerous animals. Tippi shares her thoughts and wisdom on Africa, its people and the animals she has come to know and love. Often her wisdom is beyond her years, and her innocence and obvious rapport with the animals is both fascinating and charming.

蒂皮·德格雷（Tippi Degre）是一个法国女孩，她1990年出生在非洲纳米比亚。她的父母阿兰·德格雷和茜尔维·罗伯特是专业的野生动物摄影师。蒂皮出生后就跟随父母辗转于非洲南部的沙漠、丛林，接触过许多野生动物。
