Zuri's BE-YOU-tiful Cape: Zuri Learns about Self-Love & Identity

By Sherryl Tuttle

Zuri's BE-YOU-tiful Cape is a heartwarming story from the Kids with Capes book series-a collection that helps children build Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills through empowering tales and relatable characters.

In this beautifully illustrated adventure, readers meet Zuri, a young zebra who doesn't look-or feel-like the others in her herd. With stripes only on one side of her body, Zuri struggles to understand where she belongs. She tries to fit in with the zebras, then the horses, but nothing feels quite right. That is, until she discovers a mysterious cape with a powerful message: be brave enough to be yourself, and bright enough to shine.

As Zuri wraps the BE-YOU-tiful Cape around her shoulders, she begins a journey of self-discovery, learning that true belonging comes not from fitting in, but from embracing who you are.

This uplifting story supports conversations around identity, confidence, self-acceptance, and the beauty of being different. Perfect for classrooms, bedtime, or any child navigating the big feelings that come with growing up, Zuri's BE-YOU-tiful Cape reminds young readers that who they are is more than enough.
