The Tilted City

Welcome to Zebrutopia, a wonderfully unusual place where everything is… tilted! In this curious city lives Zebright the Zebra, who must learn how to move through a world that doesn’t look quite the way he expects. As Zebright tries to understand and adapt, he begins to see that differences—whether in places or people—are not problems to fix, but perspectives to appreciate.

The Tilted City is a playful and imaginative story that helps children think about individuality, self-expression, and embracing what makes each of us unique.
