Editor's Pick
A good picture book should not only have a theme that attracts children, but also the illustrations that are suitable for them. More importantly, it should also have educational significance. This book 'Giraffes Don't Dance' is meant to tell children that even if sometimes you can't do certain things like everyone else, it's okay. You can do these things in your own way, and you will do them as well as everyone else, or even better. Giraffe Gerard's feet are naturally curved, so he is not born to dance like other animals. However, under the guidance of crickets, he carefully experienced the beauty of nature, felt the music of nature, and found the right dance steps and beats for himself, jumping out of a dance that amazed all animals.
For parents, this is a very suitable story to encourage their children. As crickets say, sometimes in order to surpass ourselves, all we need is a different piece of music. This song is the most suitable method for children. Parents should tell their children that they have failed because they have not yet found the most suitable method for them. As long as they find the most suitable method, they will definitely succeed. Of course, parents also need to guide their children to find the most suitable method for them. In addition to helping children build confidence, this story can also help them cultivate excellent qualities such as divergent thinking and innovative thinking, which is beneficial for them to develop an innovative spirit when they grow up.
If Giraffe Gerard hadn't encountered that clever cricket, he might have lived his entire life with a heart full of despair, living in a state of inferiority, and never knowing how to dance.
Every child is not exactly the same as others, so every child needs to treat others' biases correctly and accept their own differences. Every child will encounter difficulties like Giraffe Gerard, and every child needs a clever cricket to guide them.
Dear parents, would you be willing to be that cricket?

Gerard is a giraffe,
The long neck is graceful and slender.
Unfortunately, the knee is bent outward,
The legs are so thin that the bones are connected to the skin.
Gerald is not very good at dancing. Every year he worries about Grey making a fool of himself at the jungle ball. But on a beautiful full moon night, Gerard discovered that changing the music to dance could make him unique

Media comments
Giraffe Gerard doesn't have great ideals, he just wants to be able to dance like everyone else. However, his knees are bent and his legs are too slender. Because he fell during the annual jungle dance, other animals mocked him. But an inconspicuous cricket encouraged the very frustrated giraffe, urging him to find music that suited him. In the end, the giraffe performed a very beautiful dance, and this little story tells the children: everyone is great. ——Emily? Kurt
This is a delightful story about a layman who finds a suitable breakthrough point to integrate into the circle he wants to be in... It tells us a simple truth, which is to learn to tolerate differences and dare to accept our own differences.
——The Little Child
This is a very interesting and great story that cleverly discusses how to deal with bias.
