Written by Mary Anne Freeman
Oliver never dreamed about having a wheelchair. There was a lot to learn about his new way of getting around. He was very patient with his people and made the experience funny as they adapted to his new way of getting around. He was determined a wheelchair was not going to slow him down.
Oliver inspired his mom person so much, she thought his true story would inspire children and adults in wheelchairs, or with other disabilities.
His story will warm your heart and make you smile.

A delightful read that allows grandparents and parents to share a lesson with children about positively handling physical and other challenges.

A heartwarming story about a dog with the soul of a survivor, this book will show children how roadblocks are not always reasons to give up. Rather, overcoming such obstacles in order to grow, flourish, and persevere is a lesson all children should learn, and this book is a prime example of literature that will not only put smiles on readers’ faces, but leave them feeling stronger and more resilient. I highly recommend that every library have this gem of a book on their shelves.

The author visited my school and signed my book. I love this story about her dog, Oliver. Oliver had hard times but his family made him so happy with his wheelchair. I liked reading this book to my sister and my mom.
