Bookroo's summary

Baby giraffe Gisele faces a towering challenge: the juiciest leaves are just out of reach. Despite her best efforts, stretching and twisting, she can't quite get there. With a little help from her animal friends, Gisele embarks on a journey of self-discovery and learns the value of being true to herself. Will she find a way to reach those tempting leaves, or discover something even more important along the way? This delightful tale, filled with humor and heart, invites readers to explore the power of friendship and self-acceptance.

From the publisher

All giraffes, even baby Gisele, know that the juiciest leaves are on the tops of the trees. But how does she reach them? No matter how she stretches or twists, those tasty leaves are just too high. A strong story with a light touch, and colorful art with extra touches of humor, appeals to both children and adults.
