More about the book:
Stripey McStripeface is a zebra who feels out of place. In a world full of horses, he stands out, and that makes him wonder if he should be more like them. So, he tries to act like a horse, galloping, neighing, and rolling with the herd. But no matter what he does, his stripes won't disappear.
When an unexpected turn of events takes Stripey on a wild adventure, he learns that trying to fit in by being someone you're not doesn't lead to happiness. Instead, he discovers the power of self-acceptance, identity, and learning that it's okay to be different.
This neurodiversity-affirming story is about more than just a zebra. It's about every child who's ever felt the pressure to change, hide, or mask who they are just to be accepted.
Through Stripey's journey, neurodivergent kids learn that:
Fitting in isn't the same as belonging
Authenticity beats perfection every time
The things that make us different are also what make us great
This is perfect for:
✔️ Neurodivergent kids (Autistic, ADHD, PDA, and more )
✔️ Encouraging self-awareness and embracing authenticity
✔️ Classrooms, therapy settings and meaningful family discussions
Join Stripey on a journey of laughter, self-discovery, and learning to celebrate the stripes that make us who we are
