Zoom

Lauretta's wheelchair is getting old and ratty and she's had it forever. It's definitely time for a new wheelchair. Surprise! Today is the day Mom was planning to take her wheelchair shopping. With huge smiles on their faces and a sense of excitement and possibility the family heads out. "How about this? Look at this! A nice new five-speed wheelchair." Oh baby...that is not going to be enough wheelchair for this girl. We're talking speed. We're talking zoom, zoom zooooom! Lauretta finally finds one...it's the 92-speed dirt-bike wheelchair. This book bulldozes all the stereotypes about kids in wheelchairs in one wild ride. Lauretta points her canes at the wild wheelchair and that's all she wants. The need for speed can lead to a new friendship with the local police officer though. Energy packed and filled to the brim with the glass half full this book opens the door to overcoming stereotypes and perhaps prejudices against kids with disabilities. Truly wonderful!
