Scholastic – Spotty The Zebra Book
Can Spotty the Zebra learn to embrace life without stripes “Just look at my patterns, ” poor Spotty declared. “The other young zebras all tease and compare.
I’m tired of being different and not fitting in. I want to have regular, stripe-patterned skin.” Spotty the zebra is tired of standing out in a crowd.
Sick of being teased, Spotty asks a porcupine to paint her spots into stripes. Finally, she feels the same as everyone else … but finds that conformity doesn’t bring the happiness she seeks. In the desert, she meets a wise golden mole, who tells her, “You’ll only be happy when you accept you.”
