Description

Winning is fun, but is it worth the cost of a friendship?

Kifu Rhino and Twiggy Giraffe live for the thrill of racing each other. But when the competitive spirit gets the better of Kifu, he ‘shuffles’ the rules by taking a sneaky shortcut. Twiggy isn’t happy, and suddenly, the fun of the race is overshadowed by hurt feelings and broken trust.

Can Kifu learn that a win isn’t truly a win if it isn’t earned fairly?

Shortcut Shuffle is a beautifully illustrated, 52-page picture book that teaches children the vital lessons of:

Sportsmanship: Understanding why playing by the rules makes the game (and life) better for everyone.
Integrity: Developing the courage to be honest, even when we really want to win.
Value-Based Friendship: Learning that real friends value each other more than the trophy at the finish line.

Perfect for classrooms, storytime, or bedtime, this wholesome tale is a gentle guide for children learning that the best way to move forward is to do it together.
