Mama Giraffe Has Had It WAAAAAYYY Up There!: A Story About Big Feelings, Loud Voices, and Love That Stretches Forever.

A lovingly illustrated children’s book about yelling, forgiveness, and unconditional love-with a powerful message for the whole family.

What does it feel like when Mom or Dad suddenly gets loud?

＂Mama Giraffe Has Had It WAAAAAYYY Up There!＂ tells the heartfelt story of little Ida, who, after a fight, believes her mama doesn’t love her anymore. Hurt and confused, she runs away into the jungle, where she meets a series of animals who all raise their voices-but for very different reasons. A monkey dad yells out of fear, a lion roars in pain, and a crocodile cries from sadness.

As Ida listens to their stories, she begins to understand something important: behind every loud voice, there’s a feeling trying to be heard. Step by step, she learns to recognize the emotions behind the noise-and discovers the most powerful truth of all: no matter what happens, she is always loved and deeply valuable.
