"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 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. 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.
