Book Description
for Balancing Girl by Berniece Rabe and Lillian Hoban
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Margaret can balance a book on her head and blocks in a tower. A determined and competitive child finds yet another way to be successful at the school carnival; the wheelchair and leg braces she uses are incidental to her full involvement in classroom and peer activities. The subdued colors of the drawings and paintings picture a contemporary classroom. (4-9 years)
