Jaxie is a happy "little" giraffe who loves playing with his friends and "fitting" in. One morning he wakes up to realize that he is not so "little" anymore. He is afraid that he may not "fit" in with his friends as well as he did before he grew so tall. As the story progresses, Jaxie realizes that being tall or short both have their advantages. Jaxie finds out that being happy with yourself is the biggest advantage of all.
