About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to help a child understand that physical mobility is not a prerequisite for adventure, connection, or joy. It is an essential choice for families navigating a new diagnosis or for children who have questions about a loved one who uses a wheelchair. Through the shared imagination of a young boy and his grandmother, the story demonstrates that the strongest bonds are built through presence and creativity rather than physical activity. This gentle story follows Donnie and Gramma as they take a 'walk' to the seashore without ever leaving Gramma's room. By using their senses and memories, they experience the smell of salt air and the feel of sand between their toes. It is a beautiful lesson in empathy and resilience for children aged 3 to 7, offering a comforting perspective on disability that focuses on what is possible rather than what is lost.
