The charming children ́s story, The Little Giraffe Co, by Donka Karabatakova, is a joyous romp across the African savannah with five little animals who are learning about the big, wide world, and about what it means to have, and to be, a good friend. A short, easy read, this delightful book will engage children and adults alike, providing all readers with an easy-to-understand explanation of how friendships are formed and how they bring joy to the lives of all, young and old.Co, the giraffe, lives with his parents on the savannah, beneath an acacia tree, with no other giraffes, or other animals in sight. He worries about finding other little giraffes to invite to his birthday party, which is quickly approaching. So, feeling brave and sure of himself, he sets off on a grand adventure, leaving behind his family and his home, in search of friendship, but without really knowing what friendship is, or how to find it. Along the way, Co meets Picky, a spunky little elephant, who selflessly accompanies him in his search, despite the fact that he initially doesn ́t consider her to be what he is looking for in a friend, because of their obvious physical differences. Later, Lee, the talkative tiger, and Jico, the friendly lion, join the growing group. But it is Pep, a little zebra who is at first hesitant upon meeting the strange group of mismatched little animals, who helps them all to realize that they have already found what they had been searching for: true friendship.This appealing story easily expresses universal ideals about friendship, acceptance and understanding. It provides an engaging conduit for family discussions about the unique appearance and abilities of each person, and the universality of friendship. If you hope that your children will learn to develop strong, enduring friendships, this book is the perfect start to a life-long conversation about the importance of being a good friend, of accepting others as they are, and of the joy that can be found in stretching out a helping hand to all, regardless of their background or differences.Especially during this global health crisis, when in-person interactions may be scarce and the importance of friendship might not seem a priority, it is essential to continue to allow our children to explore these ideas of friendship and acceptance. This next generation of adults will learn to live in greater harmony with others, and within themselves, as a direct function of their ability to interact in a positive way with the rest of the world. Learning to work together, and to enjoy the company of all those with whom one comes in contact, even when they think and act differently, are two of the central pillars for a successful, happy life. Today ́s children will grow up to be tomorrow ́s adults, and it will be up to them to extend this idea of universal friendship, using it to build up our global family. This story ́s juxtaposition of these five very different animals will help children (and adults!) to understand that it is a willingness to spend time together and to celebrate our differences that allow us to form lasting, joyous friendships. And maybe you will discover that you, in fact, have lots of good friends by your side, and can be a good friend to others, just like Co, Picky, Lee, Jico and Pep. Don ́t miss this lovingly crafted story or it ́s memorable characters. So, come, take a seat under an acacia tree, and watch as five little strangers become fast friends.
