It's okay to say you're not okay!
Cleo the camel is just fine, thank you very much! Except that maybe she's not. A delightfully funny story about learning to admit when things aren't COMPLETELY FINE.Cleo is a COMPLETELY FINE camel. Really, everything is just great. Honestly. A sweltering hot day? Well, Cleo has never felt better! Is she thirsty? No really she's fine. A desert sandstorm? Not a problem, because Cleo is FINE (even while buried under two feet of sand). It's only when an ostrich who tells it like it is turns up that Cleo has the courage to admit that, just maybe, she's not fine at all.
