A giraffe rethinks what makes him stand out

Edward is self-conscious about his long, bendy neck and tries disguises, outfits, and hiding places to make it less noticeable. When those efforts run out, a turtle helps him see his distinctive feature in a different light. The premise turns a familiar worry about standing out into a humorous picture-book story, with the neck itself at the center of both the problem and its eventual new perspective.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books about animals.
  • Young readers exploring feelings of self-consciousness and difference.
  • Families looking for a story that opens a conversation about seeing one’s distinctive qualities differently.

Book overview

Penguins aren't the only animals with problems. . . . A second hilarious collaboration from picture-book superstars Lane Smith and Jory John!

Can you guess what's making this giraffe self-conscious? Could it be . . . HIS ENORMOUS NECK Yes, it's exactly that--how on earth did you figure it out?

Edward the giraffe can't understand why his neck is as long and bendy and, well, ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding it behind bushes--honestly, anything you can think of, he's tried. Just when Edward has exhausted his neck-hiding options and is about to throw in the towel, a turtle swoops in (well, ambles in, very slowly) and helps him understand that his neck has a purpose, and looks excellent in a bow tie.
