Best Friend on Wheels

I stammered and stuttered.
I might say the wrong thing, I thought--so I muttered.
I wanted to get a good look at her chair,
but I felt like a jerk, so I tried not to stare.

In the whimsically illustrated book Best Friend on Wheels, by Debra Shirley and Judy Stead, an elementary-school girl portrays how she met and became best friends with Sarah, who uses a wheelchair. The book honestly addresses the awkwardness young children can feel when meeting someone different for the first time, and shows them how to relate to people of all abilities.
