Z the Zebra Goes to Kindergarten Lynette Koch

One day in Africa, Z the zebra is born, but he looks different than all the other zebras. Instead of stripes, he has glowing polka dots that light up, showing his emotions. Growing up, he makes many friends and gets excited when it comes time to plan his fifth birthday party. First, he must think of a theme. Z loves rainbows; they remind him of God's promises and how much He cares for each and every one, young and old. After Z's party comes kindergarten, and he's nervous about being accepted by his teacher and new classmates. Mom reminds him that God will keep an eye on things. Z finds out that Kindergarten is great. He loves his teacher, his friends, and learning. None of his worries come true. Z the zebra learns to walk in faith, be joyful, be generous, and be grateful, despite his colorful differences. It's okay to be the person God created you to be. Like Z, let your light shine!
