Jeb the Giant
Jeb the Giant is feeling incredibly lonely having learnt that his human friends are no longer able to visit him like they have been doing for over two decades. He is scared at the thought of being all alone forevermore- with no entertainment, no company, and no connections. Just as he is admitting to his fate, he spots a German truck in the near distance – and in it: a potentially new friend. The driver is petrified to discover he is keeping company with a giant and when Jeb suggests that they might be buddies, aptly named driver Midget is sceptical and excuses himself from this obligation on the grounds of their severe differences. After a moment of thought though, Midget sees how human Jeb’s emotions and expressions are and he is moved to reconsider. Secretly feeling lonely too, he suggests that they start sunrise bird-watching together; marking the beginning of a wonderful friendship for both Midget and Jeb.

What’s in a Name?
In this story for primary school assemblies poor young Francis is constantly being mistaken for ‘Frances’. His crisis is worse than ever on the first day back at school after the holidays. His blonde, curly hair is overgrown feminizing his features and resulting in a barrage of humiliating encounters. Francis has well and truly had enough. In an attempt to make it stop Francis takes to his ‘grown-up’ name: Frank. With the rest of the day continuing smoothly Francis thinks he has reached an epiphany. Following a long-awaited trip to the hairdresser’s, he pitches his concept to his mother – can he change his name? To his horror, her anguished response is to burst into tears. She then explains that Francis inherited his name from his Great-Grandfather who was a war hero, a loving man and had blonde hair just like Francis’. Listening as he recalls his awful day at school, she recognises the reason for his identity crisis and proffers her compassion and amenability to change. By this point, Francis has a change of heart. Learning of his namesake has provoked his feelings of honour and pride for his Great-Grandfather, his uniqueness, and his family. This story will encourage children who perhaps have an unusual name to feel confident about it and appreciative of their heritage. Francis’ resilience despite embarrassment is an inspiration to listeners also suffering misunderstanding or mockery, Francis’ strong willpower will embolden them to get through it.

Spot, Splodge and Smudge (AKA: Someone is Telling me Lies)
Spot, Splodge, and Smudge are cheeky leopard cubs. Their favourite activity is winding their mother up by pulling pranks. They rely on their almost identical physical attributes and their sworn oath not to confess to responsibility in order to avoid getting into trouble. One day, this comes back to kick them in the tail as their mother has grown tired of their hijinks. After they refuse to own up to making a mess, she runs away to leave them thinking about what they’ve done. After a short while, Spot, Splodge, and Smudge start to realise that they’ve done wrong and that the consequence of their mischief – moreover - not telling the truth about it, means they’ve lost their mother - and they don’t know how long for. The trio miss their mother and they wish that they’d just done the right thing from the off. It is only when they are threatened by a pack of hyenas that they really realise how much they need her and how much their misbehaviour has cost them. Unbeknownst to them, their mother has not left them but is hiding nearby, watching over them and hoping that they learn a lesson. When she spies the hyenas she springs into attack, seeing that the hyenas disappear, and protecting her babies. The trio’s admiration for their mother grows, and she reminds them that if they need rely on her, then she needs to be able to rely on them too. This means them giving back and telling the truth, no matter what they might have done.
