Zebra in the Mirror - Hardcover
by Tina Arnus Pupis (Author), Marta Bartolj (Illustrator)
A beautifully-illustrated picture book that tackles themes of self-confidence and body neutrality and can be read from front to back or back to front!
A zebra is looking at her reflection in the lake. At first, she is unhappy with what she sees. Her ears are big and hairy; her legs are too long; and her stripes look silly. But then, she realizes that her body has an important function. Her ears allow her to hear distant sounds; her legs enable her to outrun danger; and her stripes make her unlike any other animal on the savannah. Soon, she is proud of what she sees. This picture book offers an excellent starting point for conversations with children about body image. Offering multiple perspectives, Zebra in the Mirror can be read from front to back or from back to front, showing how self-confidence can come from within. Marta Bartolj's stunning illustrations masterly depict a whole range of emotions that the zebra encounters while looking at herself in the water mirror.Tina Arnus Pupis embarked on her writing career in 2016 by participating in the Spirala Writing Contest. Her debut work titled In a Faraway Forest was published shortly after and was included in the White Ravens Collection by the International Youth Library in Munich.

And what she loves most is to combine all this in her literary works.
