Synopsis
Gerald the giraffe longs to dance, but his legs are too lanky and his knees are too knobbly – or so everyone says! When the jungle animals laugh at him during the annual Jungle Dance, Gerald feels left out. But with a little encouragement and a new tune, Gerald discovers that everyone can dance to their own rhythm. This heart-warming story celebrates being yourself and finding confidence in your uniqueness.
