My Superhero with wheels: Our True Story
My Superhero with Wheels is a heartfelt children's picture book that celebrates disability, inclusion, and the powerful bond between a parent and child. Written for families navigating chronic illness, mobility challenges, and life with disabilities, this story reframes what strength looks like-through love, resilience, and everyday courage.
Told through the eyes of a young child, My Superhero with Wheels introduces readers to a father who uses mobility aids to move through the world. To the child, the wheels are not a limitation-they are part of what makes their parent a superhero. Through simple moments and gentle observations, the story highlights how assistive devices like wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids support independence, confidence, and connection.
This book is especially meaningful for parents of children with disabilities, families affected by chronic illness, and households living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It offers representation that is often missing from children's books-showing kids that disability is not something to hide, fear, or explain away. It is simply one part of a full, loving life.
My Superhero with Wheels helps open conversations about inclusion and emotional strength in a way that feels natural and age-appropriate. Children learn that heroes come in many forms-and that being strong doesn't always mean standing or running. Sometimes strength is showing up, adapting, and loving fiercely.
Parents with MS or other chronic conditions will recognize themselves in this story. It acknowledges the realities of mobility challenges while centering what matters most: presence, care, and the unbreakable parent-child bond. For children, the book provides reassurance, pride, and language to understand their family's story with confidence.
This children's picture book is ideal for:
Families living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Parents with disabilities raising young children
Parents of children with disabilities
Caregivers seeking inclusive children's books
Educators and therapists supporting disability awareness
Families wanting to teach empathy and inclusion early
Core themes woven throughout the story include disability representation, inclusion, resilience, emotional strength, mobility aids, and the deep connection between a father and child. The tone is warm, honest, and empowering-without being preachy or overwhelming.
Whether read at bedtime, shared in classrooms, or gifted to families navigating new diagnoses, My Superhero with Wheels offers comfort, visibility, and pride. It reminds children that their families are not "different" in a negative way-they are strong, capable, and worthy of celebration.
This book belongs on the shelf of every family raising children alongside disability, chronic illness, or mobility challenges. Because every child deserves to see their hero reflected in the pages of a book.
