Zoom!
October 13, 2014 . Comments Off on Zoom!We read this book called Zoom by Robert Munsch. It’s awesome!
It’s about a girl named Lauretta who got a new wheelchair, a FAST wheelchair! He wrote it because a real little girl named Lauretta wrote him asking if he would write a story about a girl who uses a wheelchair. The real Lauretta was born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and Scoliosis and needed to use a wheelchair.
It’s such a fun book! It’s even more fun when you hear Robert Munsch read it to you. You absolutely HAVE to go to his website (click here) and click that listen button to hear the author read the book, just do it!
We know there are lots of little girls (and older girls and boys!) who need a new wheelchair but can’t just go to the wheelchair store and pick out the fastest one they can find. We want to help them. We want one of them to have an awesome new wheelchair that makes them feel like zooming around! That’s why we’re doing our read-a-thon. We have two pledges so far! YAY! Thank you! We are excited to begin reading (well… to begin tracking our reading) in TWO DAYS!!
