New Children’s Book - Let’s Roll, Oliver!
Published: April 1, 2023
If you and your child see a child or adult in a wheelchair, instead of looking the other way, look them straight in the eye and say “good morning,” says Birmingham author Mary Anne Freeman. This will teach your child four things:
- a wheelchair is just a ride;
- we’re all created in the image of God, and each person is special and unique;
- it will exhibit the Godly value of treating others with kindness; and
- it will show the Godly value of respect.
Freeman has written a children’s book that illustrates that we’re all special, that we can show kindness and respect to all people – and animals. It’s about Oliver, her long-haired dachshund, who spent 10 of his 15 years in a wheelchair.
Let’s Roll, Oliver! is a picture book for ages 4-8. Oliver taught his people a doggie wheelchair wouldn’t slow him down from enjoying life. His story is heartwarming, fun and inspirational.
The book is available at Book Nook by Rocky Heights in Birmingham, AL.
Freeman is a graduate of the University of Montevallo. She and husband Mike love to support the Arts in Birmingham, especially educational endeavors. They have been entertained by many four-legged children, all who gave wonderful memories and fun stories to tell, she says.
