Rupert, the Ordinary Giraffe

How hard it is to live when you are the most ordinary, unremarkable giraffe. But it is even harder if you are an extraordinary giraffe, unlike anyone else. It is good that we are all different, otherwise it would be boring. And it is good that we know how to be friends.

Rupert is the most ordinary giraffe who goes to animal school. One day a new student appears in his class — a white giraffe named Blanka. Rupert is amazed by the new girl's incredible coloring and wants to impress her at all costs. But what does he need for that? A trunk like an elephant? Wings like a parrot? Or maybe a lion's mane? Blanka secretly dreams of becoming the most ordinary giraffe. The animals meet at the cheetah's birthday party, where they are in for a big surprise that will set everything right.

"While I was writing this book, I managed to feel like all the characters in turn, except for the elephant. But if, for example, you can connect a suitable trunk... What do you think, will it work then?" Olga Vasilkova
