A joyful celebration of the wheelchair and how its user becomes a permanent lap to snuggle on!
The Mama Car has big wheels
and a soft cushion
and a bridge,
and it can take you outside and anywhere and right back home again.
The Mama Car has so many things, but the best thing is, it has Mummy.
All aboard the Mama Car!
The Mama Car can take children on adventures, big and small. Even just going to the kitchen for snacks becomes an exciting expedition...
And when a child falls and hurts herself, the Mama Car is always there, and so is Mummy.
