The Mission of Zink the Zebra is to promote the understanding and acceptance of human differences through specially created character education programs that help children and adults realize the necessity to respect and show compassion toward others.

How Zink was born...

Kelly was a little girl, like any other, who loved friends, family, books, swimming, animals and computers - except at age eleven, she lost her battle with cancer. While undergoing treatment for cancer, Kelly wrote a story about a zebra named Zink who has spots instead of stripes. Zink questions why she is treated differently just because she looks different on the outside. Kelly's story expresses the pain associated with the withdrawal of friendships due to misconceptions about physical differences. The sensitive message she relays concerns the importance of friendship, tolerance, and acceptance by others.
