Zara the Zebra with Horizontal stripes by Gloria Eveleigh
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.
Eveleigh, Gloria: - GLORIA EVELEIGH was a research metallurgist before a career change to social work. She designed and led the first local authority multi-agency framework facilitating the safety of vulnerable people. She has run a safeguarding consultancy and worked across the UK setting up community groups and training volunteers to support the recovery of victims of abuse. More recently she has served as Chairperson on her local Parish Council. The mother of three grown up children and five grandchildren, Gloria lives on the south coast of England, writing and enjoying her many hobbies. She has written and illustrated 30 phonics-focused picture storybooks for small children and in 2018 published her first adult book in the form of an autobiographical novel entitled 'One Small Word' - Surviving childhood abuse. In the 1940s and 50s, when child abuse was hidden, not believed, and not acknowledged, Gloria had first-hand experience of growing up in a dysfunctional family. She and her three siblings were the victims of familial physical and sexual abuse. Gloria's aim in publishing her first autobiographical novel was to help others who had been the victims of child abuse to know for sure that there is hope of recovery. In this, the sequel, Gloria aims to help recovered survivors of child abuse to continue to believe in themselves and build on their strengths as they inevitably encounter more bullies and abusers in the future. She hopes her own personal journey of small victories will encourage them to use the strategies they learned during their recovery process to overcome their future battles as she has.
