Ollie and Friends - Hardcover

by Lori Beth Grunder (Author)

Ollie the elephant wants to help the world. Lola the fox wants to see it. When they become fast friends, Ollie is determined to help Lola overcome the one thing holding her back: her legs don't work, and she gets tired easily.

With a creative invention in mind, Ollie sets out to find someone who can help her build it. She soon assembles an unlikely team: Syfer, a monkey who is a master builder with a collection of "treasures", and Snick, a shy bird with a keen eye for tiny parts.

This charming story teaches children how compassion, teamwork, and creative problem-solving can change a life. By combining their unique talents, the friends build Lola a brand-new set of wheels, giving her the freedom to run, roll, and race for the first time.

Authored by a fierce advocate for her son who inspired this story, Lola's New Wheels is a touching tale that celebrates inclusivity, friendship, and the beautiful truth that everyone, with or without a disability, has a vital purpose. The book also includes a "Disability Etiquette fun fact" to help foster understanding and respect.
