Family Stories for Peace UCC | The Trouble with Giraffes

 


This month, as we explore the theme of freedom, we are reading "The Trouble with Giraffes" by Lisa Mantchev. In honor of Disability Pride Month, which celebrates the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, this story follows a young girl and her pet giraffe who discover that their favorite gathering, Pet Club, is not accessible to them.

To ensure everyone is truly free, we must make sure everyone can participate. This book teaches us how to create space for others so that everyone feels welcome and included.

You can watch this week's story video here.

This is a story for Children and Families at Peace UCC. This lesson is for the ninth Sunday after Pentecost. This week we're reading "The Trouble with Giraffes" by Lisa Mantchev. This book will be available at Kids' Night Out and during Family Worship! Please consider purchasing today's book using this link. Music by PulseBox on Pixabay.
