I wrote this story after meeting a woman at a book signing who told me about her nervous grandson named Jeffrey. She asked if I would write a story for him. I agreed and tried to reach her at the phone number she gave me at that time but she was not available. I left a message for her but she never returned my call, sad to say. Since I couldn’t share this book with her Jeffrey I hope it helps other children to overcome their fears as in the story.
I have come to the end of my limericks for Jemsbooks’ Children’s Books with my ninth published book, Jeffrey the Jittery Giraffe (2017). If you would like to read the other limericks go to Louey, Ricky, Lamby, Jerry, Jesse, Broose, Sebastian, and Colby.
Limerick
Jeffrey the Jittery Giraffe
There once was a giraffe named Jeffrey.
Loud noises and sounds made him jittery.
His mother told him, “You’re strong
No matter what might go wrong.”
Now Jeffrey is no longer stressed and jittery.
Jeffrey is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.
Blurb:
Jeffrey is a nervous giraffe due to a terrible storm on the day of his birth. He remembers that day and is frightened of any kind of noise or unexpected things happening to him. His mother tells him that he is stronger than he thinks.
One day Jeffrey meets another giraffe who needs his help. Read this story in rhyme and find out what important lesson Jeffrey learns when he thinks of others before himself.
Jemsbooks’ children’s books are written in rhyme with life lessons. These books instill and promote good behavior and values in children. Jeffrey teaches children to be kind and helpful to others and always believe in yourself. Also, always listen to your mother; she knows best!

Reading is important not only to keep your children’s reading levels up all year long but also it can increase their vocabulary, spark their creativity, enhance their health and wellbeing, and encourage them to become lovers of books. Let’s bring up a generation of readers and thinkers who will become successful and confident adults one day.
Please consider giving books to all the children on your list for all occasions. There is nothing better than to see a child’s eyes light up when you give him/her a book – even more so when you read the book to them. You are giving them so much more than you could ever imagine, e.g., you spark their imagination, heighten their creativity, lift their spirits, increase their vocabulary, open up a whole new world to them, enhance their health and wellbeing and encourage them to love reading. The gift of a book is worth more than gold to our children, grandchildren. Keep reading and gifting books to children. Let’s bring up a generation of readers and thinkers. Thank you for your support!
