Why does she have to stand out so much with her long neck, her long black tongue, and her mosaic patches? Why do some of the other animals point and laugh at her? Can it be possible to be different and to be cool?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis activity book developed by expert child psychologist Dr Karen Treisman combines a colorfully illustrated therapeutic story about Gilly the Giraffe to help start conversations, which is followed by a wealth of creative activities for children to explore and build upon some of the ideas raised in the story, and beyond!

This activity book is complemented by a standalone picture book of Gilly's story, also available from Jessica Kingsley Publishers (Gilly the Giraffe, ISBN 9781839970290).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGilly the Giraffe is a unique giraffe with a long neck, a long black tongue, and mosaic patches. She stands out from the other animals, and they often point and laugh at her. Gilly feels self-conscious and wonders why she can't be like everyone else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day, Gilly meets a wise old owl who tells her that being different is a good thing. The owl explains that each animal has its own special qualities that make it unique. Gilly starts to see that her long neck and tongue are actually her strengths, and she uses them to help her friends and family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGilly's confidence grows, and she no longer cares about what the other animals think. She embraces her differences and uses them to make a positive impact on the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the story of Gilly the Giraffe, children learn that it's okay to be different. They are encouraged to embrace their unique qualities and use them to make a positive impact on the world. The activities in the activity book help children to develop self-esteem and confidence, and the standalone picture book provides a visual representation of the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis activity book is a valuable resource for parents, carers, and professionals who work with children aged 5–10.
