About this book
On the African savanna, a young zebra foal learns to stand and run just minutes after birth, quickly picking up the skills it needs to stay safe. As it grows, the foal sticks close to its mother, watching how she finds food, avoids predators, and navigates the wide, open plains. The narrative explains how the animal's bold stripes help it blend into the herd and how its speed is essential for evading lions and other threats. In addition to the story, the book features a life-cycle diagram, a habitat map, and fun facts that detail each stage of a zebra's development.
