A helpful story for kids with autism spectrum disorders as they follow
a young zebra who learns to understand how he is different from the rest
of his classmates.
"It teaches us to embrace not only who we are, but also to embrace the
people around us who are brilliantly different thanks to their own
amazing, colorful stripes."--Stan Lee, Chairman emeritus of Marvel
Comics
Gold Medal, Mom's Choice Awards. Foreword by Alison Singer, President,
Autism Science Foundation.
Zane the zebra often feels different. He worries that his classmates
don't notice his "curiosity," "honesty," or "caring stripes," just his
"autism stripe." With the help of his Mama, Zane comes to appreciate all
his stripes, including his "autism stripe," as the unique strengths that
make him who he is.
Includes a Reading Guide with additional background information about
autism spectrum disorders and a Note to Parents and Caregivers with tips
for finding support.
