This helpful story for kids with autism spectrum disorders follows a young zebra who learns to understand how he is different from the rest of his classmates.

It teaches us to embrace not only who we are, but also to embrace the people around us who are brilliantly different thanks to their own amazing, colorful stripes.--Stan Lee, Chairman emeritus of Marvel Comics Gold Medal, Mom's Choice Awards

Zane the zebra often feels different. He worries that his classmates don't notice his curiosity, honesty, or caring stripes, just his autism stripe. With the help of his Mama, Zane comes to appreciate all his stripes, including his autism stripe, as the unique strengths that make him who he is. Included is a Reading Guide with additional background information about autism spectrum disorders, a Note to Parents and Caregivers with tips for finding support, and a foreword by Alison Singer, President, Autism Science Foundation.

Brilliant Bea is an endearing and empowering story that demonstrates that a learning difference like dyslexia doesn't define who you are.

Despite her struggles with reading and writing, Beatrice is a natural and brilliant storyteller. With the help of a kind-hearted teacher, Beatrice uses an old-fashioned tape recorder so she can speak her words and them play them back, as a technique for learning in a whole new way. With her new approach, Beatrice is able to show her classmates who she really has been all along.

This book is set in EasyReading, a dyslexia-friendly font.
