Giraffe Problems
A funny and heart-warming story about self-acceptance, confidence and being comfortable with what makes you different.
Edward the giraffe has a problem: he doesn't understand why his neck is so long, bendy and, in his eyes, ridiculous. No other animal seems to have a neck quite like his, and Edward tries everything he can think of to hide it.
But just when he has run out of ways to disguise his extraordinary neck, a turtle comes along and helps Edward see things differently. Perhaps the thing he has been trying hardest to hide is actually something that makes him special.
From bestselling author Jory John and acclaimed illustrator Lane Smith, Giraffe Problems is a funny and uplifting companion to the much-loved Penguin Problems.
Through Edward's hilarious attempts to deal with his unusually long neck, the story offers opportunities to talk about:
- Self-acceptance and confidence
- Difference and individuality
- Positive self-image
- Friendship and empathy
- Being comfortable with who you are
With its playful illustrations and humorous story, Giraffe Problems is an engaging read for young children and a useful starting point for conversations about accepting yourself and appreciating the things that make
