Walk Tall - Paperback

A rhyming picture book about confidence, friendship and belonging.

When the jungle animals tell Gemma Giraffe she doesn’t fit in, she sets out to find friends who will value her for who she is. But after being told her skin is too spotty, her mouth is too gummy and she is just too skinny, Gemma begins to lose hope.

Then Gemma realises she has been looking in the wrong places. By lifting her head and looking beyond those who put her down, she discovers friends who appreciate her individuality.

Walk Tall is a warm, rhyming story about self-worth, resilience and finding friendships where you are genuinely valued.

Perfect for:
conversations about confidence, teasing and belonging; children learning to value what makes them different; shared reading at home or school.

Written by Cher Louise Jones and illustrated by Lee Dixon.
