This picture book is all about kids that use wheelchairs. It's a very easy read and super informative and educational. ( )

This book is about children in wheelchairs and what its like for them.

This text designed with early readers in mind seeks to provide simplified explanations for many of the questions might have about people who need wheelchairs to get around. Although average sentence length is very low and amount of decodable words is very high, it still manages to treat its subjects with respect in straightforward language. This is emphasized by the repetition of "kids who use wheelchairs" - author Lola Schaefer refers to the person first instead of the disability. While it doesn't clarify every misconception ever (it only has 121 words after all), I think this is a valuable text for a classroom library, especially when quality books about children with disabilities are so few and far between.

An informational picture book that tells kids why some people use wheelchairs and all the things they can do in wheelchairs, in an easy to read format with words that are easily understandable. Provides a glossary in the back.
