This is the first book I have in my annotated bibliography. Just by looking at the cover, you automatically assume this girl is Susan; also, because she is laughing.
Well, this story is about an inspirational young girl, who loves to do various activities. Such as swim with her father, work hard in school, play with her friends, and even ride a horse.

It is only revealed at the end of the story that Susan is actually in a wheelchair.
This book surprised me, and will surprise the students who read it.
While I was reading it, I thought that I was reading a children’s book about the daily life of a young and happy child, but at the end, I came to find that this seemingly normal little girl was in fact bound to a wheelchair. It sends a powerful message about not judging a book by its cover, as well as people with disabilities as well, because their disabilities does not define who they are.
