Even though Gilly the Giraffe has many wonderful things in her life, she
sometimes lacks confidence. 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?
This activity book developed by expert child psychologist Dr Karen
Treisman combines a colourfully 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!
The activities are accompanied by extensive advice and practical
strategies for parents, carers and professionals on how to help children
aged 5-10 boost their self-esteem and confidence.
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).
