Gerald the Giraffe: Doesnt fit in, and that's perfectly fine

By Rita Shett

Some animals are just a little bit... extra.

Meet Gerald. He's a giraffe with a very long neck, a very big heart, and a very complicated relationship with mirrors, doorways, and school coffee mugs.

Gerald can't fit through doors. His head blocks the cinema screen. He accidentally wins basketball games and pops every balloon at birthday parties. No matter how hard he tries, Gerald always stands out - usually by about six feet.

But what happens when the thing that makes you different turns out to be exactly what the world needs?

With wit, warmth, and a whole lot of spots, Gerald the Giraffe Doesn't Fit In is a joyful celebration of the children who are too tall, too loud, too much, or simply wonderfully, perfectly themselves.

Perfect for:

Children ages 4-6Bedtime reading and classroom storytimeAny child who has ever felt a little differentParents who know that standing out is a superpower

From the pen of Rita Shett - a mum who wrote stories for her son, read them to him every night, and watched him grow into a child who never stopped reaching for the next book.
