Five year old Penny Brown is slightly different from the other boys
and girls in her kindergarten class. She must sit in a wheelchair
and cannot jump rope or slide down the big slide like all of her
classmates, which make her very sad. However, Penny finds support
from her friends and family. Her friend Amy helps Penny focus on
the activities that she can do in her wheelchair, like kick a ball
with her left foot, play with dolls, and draw beautiful pictures.
Her mommy and daddy also help her to be kind to other people and to
know when to ask for help. When Josh, a new student, comes to
school, will Penny find comfort in something they have in common?
Author Brittany Crawford has lived with cerebral palsy since she
was nine months old; however, she is not confined to a wheelchair.
Since her disability prevents her from driving, Crawford spends
much of her time writing, including her weekly article, "The Cecil
Round Up," published in her local Arkansas newspaper "The
Spectator." She is active in the Cecil Methodist Church and the
Franklin County Book Club. Crawford plans to create an I Will Be
Okay series and is working on an adult memoir based on the
adventures she and her illustrator, Michelle Oakley, encountered
during a vacation. Illustrator Michelle Oakley is 21 and lives with
her parents in Sperry, Oklahoma. She loves to draw and never lets
her disability get in the way of her artistic ability. Publisher's
