Is there a better message to explore with your pupils than, 'dance to your own music'? With Travelling Tales: Giraffes Can't Dance, you can plan a series of cross-curricular lessons centered around a quality text that provides pupils a healthy message about self-confidence and breaking down stereotypes.

Gerald is a giraffe who loves to dance. But upon approaching the dance floor at the Jungle Dance, the other animals laugh at the very thought of a Giraffe dancing. Fortunately, Gerald's confidence is bolstered by a friendly cricket who tells him to 'dance to your own music'.
