Jelly Bean the giraffe loves trees. In fact, leaning on a tree is her favorite way to nap. But when she wakes from one of her naps, she discovers that a bird thinks she is a tree and built a nest on her head! Jelly Bean is kind, and so she is determined to provide a good spot for the bird's nest. Luckily, she has friends who can help her do so.

This is a sweet story about kindness and friendship, and it left a smile on my face. The large font and simple text get the point across well, but are still accessible for newer readers.
