"Inspired by an actual childs life and writings this tale of a young leukemia victim will elicit both tears and laughter." -- Booklist Boxed Becky Zaslows leukemia diagnosis has introduced her to a world she never knew existed a scary world of hospitals and blood counts and chemotherapy. Ten-year-old Becky is afraid. But she doesnt have to go through this alone . . . shes got a trio of singing zebras to keep her company! A herd of zebras from the Serengeti plains forges a special spiritual bond with Becky. They boost her spirits by telling her the story of Zink a polka-dotted zebra with the most courage and the biggest heart. "Think Zink " the zebras tell her when things get bad. And when Becky does as they say her soul voyages to Africa where her imagination can run as free as the zebras.
