Book Synopsis
From author and disabled parent Lucy Catchpole, this gentle and accessible picture book celebrates a wonderful part of one child's life: her mother's wheelchair. I have a tricycle. Daddy has a big car. And Mama has a Mama Car. Mama's wheelchair can take you on adventures, big and small. Even going to the kitchen for breakfast might become an exciting expedition. But the very best part about the Mama Car is...it has Mama! And she's always there when you need her. This sweet story from writer and wheelchair user Lucy Catchpole and illustrator Karen George portrays a mother's wheelchair as a wonderfully normal part of family life.
