"I'm allergic to school!" Chelsea tells her mother. This story, for children ages five to eight, is playful, touching, sensitive and groundbreaking. It has all the elements that make a child excited, interested, and eager to know "what happens next?" The main character, Chelsea, is the focus of the attention of the adults in her world. They are concerned about what ails her and why she thinks that she is "allergic to school." Chelsea is suffering from "a touch of the zebras." The reader learns that this "touch of the zebras" is connected to Chelsea's mixed-race parentage. The reader then journeys with the child as her dilemma becomes a pleasant learning experience.

It also opens the door for dialogue on understanding multi-ethnic families.

Makareta is the chosen one - carrying her families hopes. Missy is the observer - the one who accepts but has her dreams. Mata is always waiting - for life to happen as it stealthily passes by. These three women are the cousins of one of Patricia Grace's most popular novels. Moving from the forties to the present, from the country to the protests of the cities, Cousins is the story of three girls once thrown together and as women grown apart.

This book aims to show the reader the many ways in which they can respond to animal issues—from buying cruelty-free products to demonstrating about injustices and lobbying local MPs. The author exposes the ways in which animals are abused by humans, even when they are supposedly protected as endangered species. Aimed at teenagers, but suitable for everyone, it shows we can all do something to help end the shame.
