ANDY GUTMAN UNVEILS STAND TALL: A NEW HEARTWARMING CHILDREN’S BOOK, ACCOMPANYING SONG CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALITY AND CONFIDENCE


Farmington Hills, Mich.– Andy Gutman, acclaimed children’s author and songwriter, unveils his latest endeavor, Stand Tall, a captivating children's book that encourages self-confidence and celebrates uniqueness in every person. With a delightful narrative and vibrant illustrations, Stand Tall follows the journey of Taff the Giraffe, a striking blue giraffe who embraces his differences and stands proud amidst a sea of conformity.

 

Reflecting on the inspiration behind Stand Tall, Gutman shares, "I wrote this book to remind children that their uniqueness is something to be celebrated, not hidden. In a world that often pressures us to conform, kids need to embrace their individuality and stand tall with confidence. The song was a natural extension of that message.”

 

In addition to the enchanting tale of Taff in written form, Gutman has crafted a soulful song

to accompany the book, amplifying its message of self-acceptance and empowerment. Collaborating with professional vocalist and entertainer Alena Kourkouliotis, Gutman's song resonates with uplifting melodies and inspiring lyrics, beautifully mirroring the spirit of Taff's story.

 

Kourkouliotis brings Taff’s story to life through music, capturing the essence of Taff’s journey with her rich, expressive voice. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms, allowing families to experience Taff’s story through both reading and listening.

 

The music, co-written by Gutman and Kourkouliotis, features production by Mollen from vsmusicworldwide.com, ,and was mixed, mastered, and produced by Sean Ziegenhagen and Chuck Alkazian.

 

Gutman’s 10th book, “Stand Tall” is now available for purchase online at Amazon and at GutcheckBooks.com. The uplifting song can be streamed online via Spotify, allowing families to experience the magic of Taff's journey wherever they go.
