我很厲害，但是我不驕傲: FiFiNE et ses copines
By 艾曼紐•斐耶（Emmanuel Veillet）從謙虛與互助合作中學會分辨自信與自傲的不同 菲菲妮是一隻脖子比一般長頸鹿還要長上三倍的超長長頸鹿。 多虧有了能夠看得比同伴更遠的她，大家才能提早發現周遭的危險，這使得她漸漸自滿起來，對待朋友的態度逐漸不同，開始下巴抬高高、眼睛往下看她的朋友。 但有天，一隻猴子爬上一棵好高好高的猴麵包樹，他能望得比菲菲妮更高、更遠。從那天起長頸鹿們就不再需要菲菲妮，菲菲妮原先的角色被取代了！ 看著朋友離她而去、轉而圍繞著猴子的景象，菲菲妮頓時失去了信心、非常沮喪。 菲菲妮離家出走的期間，利用自己的長脖子幫助了森林裡的其他動物，並與其他動物同心協力撲滅了森林大火。漸漸地，菲菲妮重新找回了自信。 自信與自傲，有著差別。自傲是擁有特長便自以為高人一等、並因此小看了其他人；自信是知道自己的價值、也知道別人的價值，不會因為他人的對待，而高估或貶抑了對自己的肯定。原先的同伴都仰賴著菲菲妮長脖子的特長，但她卻因此自視甚高。直到原先以為自己不可或缺的角色，被一隻站得更高的猴子取而代之，菲菲妮反而感到自卑。最後，菲菲妮發現自己的長脖子不單只是賣弄、炫耀，還能幫助他人，而且透過團隊中彼此特長各異的加乘效果，能成就單靠自己做不到、更了不起的事。名人推薦 ★讀者回響：「這是一個關於友誼的故事，插畫漂亮，敘事簡潔，非常適合睡前閱讀。我們很喜歡這本書！」 ★「絢麗多彩的插畫、生動活潑的筆調、幽默機智的故事，時時讓人會心一笑，在這本樂觀、充滿正能量的書裡，每個人都能從中獲得啟發。」（書評網站Chronique d’Asteline） ＊適讀年齡：學齡前～中年級 ＊注音：有
