Meet Zeb
Zeb lives on the plains in Africa and has many friends. In Zeb’s first adventure he realizes:
Sometimes, you can answer something for yourself, and at other times you just need to go out and find people
you trust, and ask them.
As Zeb the Zebra discovers, there is a way to live a happy life.
Introducing
Your Heart and Mine

In Sandee’s first book, Zeb, the Zebra, goes on an adventure wanting to find out if other creatures have hearts that beat like his.
Through his adventure he meets many new friends and learns lessons of friendship.
In Your Heart and Mine there are hearts throughout most of the book, some more hidden than others. Hearts are the universal symbol of love, caring and compassion. On the pages there are opportunities to explore where love is hidden in the illustrations.
See Zeb frolicking with a butterfly below – can you find the two hearts?
This story is a stepping stone into chats with children about finding love in unexpected places and appreciating the love you find. At the end of Zeb’s story children are invited to play a game and find all the hearts throughout the book. There are many, many hearts to count and appreciate if you take the time to look … both in Zeb’s story and in life.
Your Heart and Mine
This book is about creatures that may have different looks, habits or quirks. We can befriend those around us, no matter our differences, remembering that all our hearts, both your heart and mine, beat the same in friendship.
Be like Zeb … and have fun!

It’s a terrific read – I showed my 6 year old grand-daughter on the screen the other day and she was quite taken with it.
Grandfather
My 4 year old grandson took the book to school last week and his teacher commented that all the children liked the story so much that they begged her to read it again – which she did!
Grandmother
Sandee is keen to support libraries, schools and other organisations in bringing Zeb’s messages to the world.
