(PRLeap.com) Germaine the Giraffe's Farmyard Family, a new book by Megan Weber, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.Germaine is a tall, beautiful giraffe whose life changes drastically when he loses his sight. Life at the zoo isn't fun anymore. The only thing anyone notices about him is that he can't see. Germaine the Giraffe's Farmyard Family follows Germaine as he leaves the zoo for somewhere he will be accepted and happy again. After a long bus ride, Germaine finds a kind farmer who welcomes him with open arms. The farm is filled with friendly animals, too. Will he find his happy place among these new friends? The author wrote this book to help spark conversations about strong friendships and the sense of belonging. She says, "Finding your core group of friends who accept you for being an individual and being unique is so crucial. Friends can be from any background and have any abilities. I find that communication around these hard topics can be difficult to start with our young children. The bullying and singling out of kids isn't going to stop until parents take up these hard conversations, and I hope my book will spark discussion around those topics."
