Those living with CVID (Common Variable Immunodeficiency) and other Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDD) refer to themselves as Zebras — because when doctors “hear hoof beats,” they usually think of horses, the common diagnoses. But sometimes, it’s a zebra — rare, unique, and unusual.
This children’s story, “Adventure on the Serengeti” celebrates cooperation among zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests as they journey together and survive the challenging environment during the Great Migration. Those with immune deficiencies thrive through teamwork, persistence, care, and courage. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book from 11/25-3/26 will go to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, specifically the Allergy and Immunology Research Fund, to directly support cutting-edge research into immunologic conditions like CVID.
