Susan Laughs by Jeanne Willis: Susan laughs, she sings.
she rides, she swings. She gets angry, she gets sad, she is good, she is bad. . . Told in rhyme, this story follows Susan through a series of familiar activities. She swims with her father, works hard in school, plays with her friends -- and even rides a horse. Lively, thoughtfully drawn illustrations reveal a portrait of a busy, happy little girl with whom younger readers will identify.
Not until the end of the story is it revealed that Susan uses a wheelchair. Told with insight, and without sentimentality, here is an inspiring look at one spunky little girl whose physical disability is never seen as a handicap.
Perfect for 4 - 8 years readers and fans of social situations.
