A long-legged, dancing toucan discovers it is hard to fit in when you are born to stand out.

Deep in the jungle, young Peggy the toucan grows unusually long, pink legs. She is different to the others and spends her days trying and failing to fit in. Things change for Peggy when she discovers the wonderful world of cancan dancing and accepts that she was born to stand out. Through jaunty rhyme, quirky, freehand digital illustrations and unique characters, Leggy Peggy shows the power of resilience, the benefits of overcoming self-doubt, and the magic of being unique.
