HELGA'S BIG SPLASH

Helga the Hippo lives on the banks of a river in Africa. She loves to keep All The Other Animals cool under the hot sun. Each morning she totters off to the waterhold, jumps high into the air and with a "kersploosh" lands in the water, splashing her friends. But one cold morning Helga’s Big Splash makes her friends say things that hurt her and in response she resorts to drastic, sometimes comic, measures…

 

In the end Helga accepts herself and everything turns out for the best. 

 

Enjoyed by children and adults alike, this story gently and humorously looks at the issue of fat-shaming and self esteem.
