Finding a way to dance

Gerald wants to dance, but his awkward knees and thin legs make it difficult for him to move as he hopes. Encouragement from an unexpected friend gives this picture book a way to explore self-confidence without making Gerald’s physical differences disappear from the premise. The dance floor becomes a place for him to consider what it means to move in his own way. Told in rhyme and accompanied by illustrations, the story connects the desire to join in with the courage to be oneself.

Book overview

Gerald the giraffe longs to dance but his knees seem to buckle whenever he tries to twirl. Will he learn to sway to his own sweet tune? Find out in this gentle ode to dancing to the beat of your own drum.

 

Giraffes Can't Dance is a touching tale of Gerald the giraffe, who wants nothing more than to dance. With crooked knees and thin legs, it's harder for a giraffe than you would think. But with some words of encouragement from an unlikely friend, he might just find the courage to be himself on the dance floor.

 

With light-footed rhymes and high-stepping illustrations, this tale is gentle inspiration for every child with dreams of greatness.
