Kito, a giraffe who lives on the Serengeti in Africa, is tired of hearing 'No, Kito, No!' from his friends. With a little help from other animals, he learns what he needs to feel better and how to ask for it. That turns everything around, and now, his friends say, 'Yes, Kito, Yes!'

In this story, Kito really cares about winning. When he doesn't, the herd of elephants passing by hears about it! Will they be able to help him learn that winning isn't everything? Will they be able to uncover the real reason it's so important for Kito to win? Will Kito be able to use the tool they teach him?

Put on your safari outfit, use binoculars, and watch out for lions as you travel along the hot dusty path with Kito to the watering hole. That's where you'll find out why Kito and his friends are dancing around and shouting, Yes, Kito, Yes! This book has been fact-checked by Haji Abdul, Nan's intrepid guide, who showed her his beloved Serengeti.
