About This Book
In Elise Parsley's humorous picture book, Leopold the giraffe enjoys being the center of attention at the zoo, receiving cheers and delicious snacks from his fans. His world is turned upside down when a new, silent rival appears: a giraffe-shaped balloon. Leopold's jealousy and frustration grow as the balloon captures the crowd's affection, leading him to increasingly silly attempts to reclaim his status. This story is a lighthearted exploration of self-esteem, dealing with feelings of being replaced, and learning that true worth comes from within, not just external validation. It's perfect for sparking conversations about big feelings like envy and the importance of self-confidence.
