World Disability Day 2019: My Brother's Wheeeeelchair, a short story for kids

My brother's very smart, He's got plenty of brains. He helps me across puddles, When it rains. When we go to the park, In the evening to play, He uses a horn, So people make way. Going to the market with him, Is such a treat. He has a rear-view mirror, For when we're on the street. Sometimes he takes his chair Into a shallow stream. I give it a good splash. Oh, how he does scream! When baba and aai take us To the hills for a hike, He puts on special wheels — Like a mountain bike! All our friends wait, For their turn to ride, It feels so good, With the arms out wide. The Early Years: Not all kids with cerebral palsy or autism have intellectual disabilities He goes so fast, He is called the wheelchair champ. And now all our friends know… Their house must have a ramp!
