This simple, engaging story is the perfect way to introduce young children to what bullying is, and help them become aware of how their behaviour can impact on other children. There are even suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children understand.

So when Leopard has a birthday party, he doesn't invite Giraffe, even though he has invited all his friends. Slowly, Giraffe begins to understand how Leopard must have felt when he started school. Can the two of them learn to become friends after all?
