Mama's Car

Mama's Car 
 Mama's Car by Lucy Catchpole


A heartfelt and joyful picture book told from a young child’s point of view about her mother’s wheelchair, affectionately nicknamed the “Mama Car.” In simple, warm language, the Mama Car goes on everyday “expeditions” around the house and beyond, from breakfast trips to cozy snuggles when the child gets hurt. The story presents disability as a natural and loving part of family life, focusing on the comfort, connection, and care that come with being together, rather than on limitations. This tender book celebrates love, belonging, and the everyday adventures that make family life special.
