Storytime Stripes

Mama zebra sits with a big book open on her knees. Her soft eyes follow the lines while her long nose points toward the page. A little colt leans close and taps her nose with his hoof. Their stripes curl like rivers, wrapping legs, bellies, and faces.

The book tilts toward the colt, and simple lines on the paper hint at words to read. His short bristly mane sticks up like a tiny brush, ready for giggles. Round hooves tuck under them, and they sit snug and calm. The clear white space around their bodies leaves room for bright skies, grass, or a cozy rug.

Fun Fact!

A zebra is a perfect example of an animal that is beautifully adapted to its life on the African plains!

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Alternate black and gray for stripes; leave a few white for shine.
  2. 2 Give the book a bright cover and add tiny doodles on the pages.
  3. 3 Blend light blue shadows under their hooves to make them sit on the ground.
  4. 4 Draw grass or a blanket around them with short, quick strokes.
