How Willy got his Wheels
Book Review
How Willy Got His
Wheels Deborah Turner This book is charming, funny, sweet and most of all,
inspirational. This true story of a very special little dog
would warm the heart of even the most life hardened soul. I
don't know when, if ever, I've been this touched by a
children's book. And here I sit, the mother of three small
boys. The illustrations by famed water colorist Rhonda
McHugh are as poignant as the story itself. Her colors are
soft, creating the feel of loving warmth. Willy's entrance, and acceptance, into his home is
enlivened by his new family. There is Deborah, who adopts
him from an animal hospital, and his new siblings, Sweet Pea
a Chihuahua and Marshmallow the fluffy cat. This energetic
group will keep you chuckling long after the story engraves
itself on your heart. The authors' dedications at the beginning tell the
reader, with just a few short words, that this will be a
book filled with courage, life, and love. These dedications
hold true. Though this is essentially a children's book, it has
a far ranging, even universal, appeal. How can we not all
thrill to a story of huge courage in the face of challenge.
Willy can teach us all. An essential story for any book collection whether it
be in a home, public library, or a school. -- Buzzy
