But a zebra herd from the Serengeti Plain forges a special spiritual bond with Becky. The boost her spirits by telling her the story of Zink, a polka-dotted zebra with the most courage and the biggest heart. Becky's imagination can run as free as the zebras. While the zebras face their own natural predators, Becky faces her own deadly predator: luekemia.

Based on a short story written by Kelly Weil, a real girl who suffered and lost her battle with cancer.
