Ten-year-old Becky Zaslow has life-threatening cancer. But she doesn't have to go through her frightening ordeal alone . . . she's got a trio of singing zebras to keep her company. Yes, zebras! The trio is part of an African herd that forges a spiritual bond with Becky. The zebras boost Becky's spirits by reciting the story of Zink, a polka-dotted zebra with the most courage and the biggest heart of all. "Think Zink", they say. And when Becky does, her soul voyages to Africa, where her imagination can run as free as the zebras. While the zebras face the predatory lions that roam the plain, Becky faces her own deadly predator: leukemia.

With illustrations by young cancer patients and survivors, this unforgettable novel inspires readers with the meaning of true courage.
