This helpful story for kids with autism spectrum disorders follows 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
Zane thezebra 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 of his stripes, including his autism stripe, as the unique strengths that make him who he is. Included is a reading guide with additional background information about autism spectrum disorders, a note to parents and caregivers with tips for finding support, and a foreword by Alison Singer, President,Autism Science Foundation.
