A giraffe’s campaign becomes a lesson in perspective

A run-in with an office ceiling fan prompts Giraffe to campaign against the overhead hazard. When the fan is removed, his friends’ unhappy response leads him to consider how the situation looks from their point of view. The story frames empathy through this contrast in perspective, with Giraffe’s attempts to understand described as imperfect and comical. Set in the same world as Taj Mihelich’s *Bernie the Bike Builder*, the book also includes an introduction by Bernie.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in animal-centered fiction
  • Young readers exploring empathy and seeing situations from others’ perspectives
  • Readers familiar with the world of *Bernie the Bike Builder*

Book overview

"Ban the Fan" is a fresh perspective on empathy.

 

Giraffe's run-in with an office ceiling fan ignites a crusade against the dangling danger overhead. After the fan is decommissioned, Giraffe celebrates only to discover that his friends don't look happy. Full of concern, Giraffe searches for understanding.

 

Giraffe has a very different perspective from way up there. Can he learn to see from his friends' point of view?

 

"Ban the Fan" follows Giraffe's journey as he attempts to imagine the world through his friends' eyes. The results are sometimes imperfect, often comical, but his newfound understanding adds more happiness to the world.

 

"Ban the Fan" takes place in the same world as Taj Mihelich's book "Bernie the Bike Builder" and includes an introduction by Bernie.
