Inspired by a real boy named Andrew Reaster, this story was written by his mum and is a gentle, uplifting tale about courage, kindness, and belonging.

A little zebra named Andrew finds himself in a strange new place where everyone is different, and no one is sure he belongs. Surprising everyone, including himself, Andrew shows the others that he can do everything they can. They learn that what truly matters isn't how someone looks, but how they act and treat others.

Andrew Belongs: Do Looks Really Matter? is perfect for young readers, classrooms, bedtime reading, and therapy sessions. This story encourages children to accept differences, show empathy, and find joy in being themselves.

About the Author

Written by his mom, this story was inspired by Andrew Reaster, who had been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Her message is that every child deserves to feel accepted and included, no matter how different they are. Through Andrew's story, she hopes to help children understand that being kind, brave, and caring is what truly matters - and that everyone belongs and should be treated with love and respect.
