Grant the Artist … Grant the Giraffe
Both have the same journey, but with a twist!
A Classic Storybook for Children and Adults
Different is MORE
A young giraffe is born different, but he follows his passion for art despite his challenges. GRANT the Jigsaw Giraffe ~ Different is More storybook introduces a never-before-seen giraffe born with jigsaw puzzles. He's different, but Grant has BIG dreams, and he's determined to find his way.
In 2017, Julie Coy created the GRANT the Jigsaw Giraffe storybooks after her son's artwork
and his true life story living with a disability.
Although born different, Grant has become an award-winning artist excelling above
and beyond what some could not imagine possible. But, early on, Julie knew Grant was MORE!
After the release of their first book in 2018, selling over 14,000 books, winning children's
book awards and being recognized by the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation, individuals,
families and friends asked Julie to write their story.
Today, Julie has turned her friend's stories into animated characters, each living with a special challenge or situation. Through their friendship with GRANT the Jigsaw Giraffe and mentors,
they understand that they are Different ... but MORE, too!

Book Features a
Dyslexia-Friendly Font
Our book features an easier to read dyslexia font.
People who struggle with reading often swap, rotate and flip letters without noticing -- creating a problem in which some letters are too similar to each other.
Dyslexie font is designed so that every letter is unique in its own form.
Special thanks to graphic designer Christian Boer for allowing his font to be used in Grant's book. Boer has dyslexia himself and designed the font to improve his reading life.
