Kwame is a giraffe who stands tall and is completely sure of himself (as we all are as children). He sees himself as a lion though, brave and magnificent, and though his friends laugh and his enemies look at him with scorn, he stays true to himself and, in the end, helps the whole savannah through the simple fact that his belief never wavered. Beyond having this beautiful message on self-love, Kwame the Giraffe paints a beautiful picture of the savannah and other facets of Kenya that makes it the country and people we know and love.
