Giselle Giraffe

Giselle doesn’t like her height. Though covering it up with clothes doesn’t work, a helpful sight might...

Unhappy with her height, Giselle the Giraffe decides to change her style to hide her major flaw. But the hats don’t work, the rings are too small, and the scarves nowhere NEAR long enough. And don’t even ask her about the bikini!
Dejected, Giselle slinks off home to hide herself away… but a chance encounter leaves her seeing her height from a new perspective.
Funny dress-up illustrations make Giselle’s self-esteem mishaps a lesson readers will laugh at while leaning.
 

• A positive story about self-acceptance and loving yourself the way you are.
• Rhythm, rhyme, and a drop of humour makes this story a great read-aloud experience.
• Hilarious illustrations bring out the fun in Giselle’s fashion mishaps.

Richard Turner is an author and Performing Arts teacher in Adelaide South Australia, who supports children’s creative voices through drama and dance. He has directed and choreographed musicals, working with students who can sing and dance way better than he can. Like most people, Richard has to be told to eat his peas, but never has to be told to eat his jellybeans or ice cream. He has been on a skateboard, a rollercoaster, an elephant and a camel. He has also been on a spaceship to the moon, but only in his dreams!

Ben Clifford was born and raised in Tasmania, Australia. He began illustrating after living in a nice place with the cuckoos and sparrows in England. After returning home he began drawing, painting, illustrating and writing books. Ben was first published in 2017 with many titles to follow. When he’s not drawing or writing stories, he likes to help others if they’re sad or happy, scaly, fluffy, furry or feathery.
