Shimmer: The Polka-Dot Zebra by Taraleigh SkywalkerRapha

Based on a true-life event, a polka-dot zebra was born in 2019 on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Polka-dots being born into a world of stripes–an oddity that has never been seen before. Shimmer is about a zebra that doesn’t even know if she is a real zebra if she doesn’t have stripes like everyone else. She doesn’t fit in and is teased and bullied mercilessly until she eventually forgets her own name. One day a group of bullies push her off a cliff into a muddy bog, where she becomes stuck and comes face-to-face with Blamey, a gigantic crocodile. Blamey refuses to eat Shimmer because she “doesn’t have stripes,” which causes Shimmer to burst into tears that she is not even good enough to be eaten. Blamey, with the help of his flamingo and firefly friends, teaches Shimmer what she is really made of and what really counts. What was seemingly the worst day of Shimmer’s life transforms her.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.
You are a star plucked from the heavens and wrapped in a mud suit.
Your inner spirit star was created perfectly.
The real you is not mud.
You are pure light.
Shine.
