Howard thinks he’s the most exceptional creature in the rainforest — that’s because no other creature is as exceptionally camouflaged as him! But when he learns that the rainforest is full of other camouflaged creatures, he begins to wonder: ‘Who will like me if I’m just… an average gecko?’ Thankfully Howard meets Dolores (another average gecko) and he discovers that you don’t have to be exceptional to be loved — and those that love you will never think you’re average at all.
