Zara the Zebra with Horizontal stripes : Urlink Print & Media, LLC : 9781643677781 : 1643677780 : 26 Aug 2019 : Zara the zebra has horizontal stripes instead of the normal vertical ones. This makes other zebras look down their noses at her and upsets and puzzles Zara as to why she is different. Her zookeeper, Zac, feels sorry for Zara and tries several different ways to make her horizontal stripes become vertical. Having given up, he suddenly realizes that 'different is good' and should be celebrated -- so that's what they do.
