Giraffes Can’t Dance
The touching story of Gerald, a giraffe who just wants to dance. His long legs and wobbly knees make it hard for him to move like the other animals in the jungle. When he tries to join the Jungle Dance, the other animals laugh at him. After he wanders off, a kindly cricket shares a secret with him: that everyone can dance when they find their music. This story is a beautiful tale of embracing how you are different and having the confidence to do your own thing.
