Reach for this book when your child starts comparing their body to others or feels self conscious about a physical trait that makes them stand out. Geri the giraffe is frustrated by her long, clumsy neck, feeling like it is more of a nuisance than a gift. Through a gentle adventure involving a natural crisis, she discovers that what makes her different is exactly what makes her essential to her community. This Usborne First Reading title is perfect for children aged 4 to 6 who are beginning to navigate social hierarchies and personal identity. It uses a secular, animal-based metaphor to transform feelings of inadequacy into a sense of pride and accomplishment. Parents will appreciate how it moves from the pain of being 'too much' of something to the joy of realizing that every trait has a purpose.
