About this title

Synopsis

Princess Ella leaves her castle to go to school with her new friends. Even though she is in a wheelchair, she’s very cheerful and confident. One day, the little princess becomes a part of a volleyball team. Despite the lack of trust from her coach, Ella proves to be a brilliant player, leads her team to victory and, eventually, gains approval from the coach.

A princess in wheelchair!

• Can a princess be in a wheelchair! Yes, of course!

• Can a child with special needs still have dreams? YES, of course!

• Can they have friends and go to school just like anyone else?  YES!  

• And can a child without a disability enjoy this book?  YES!

Princess Ella is in a wheelchair, and she is no different from other little girls. She likes picking flowers, riding horses, racing on the ramps of the castle that is fully equipped to help her move around freely. Ella has no limits in her castle.

A story about a special kid but above all, a story for all children that highlights tolerance towards those who are different.

Readers’ comments

Sandra

“This book will be great for all kids, not just disabled, to read about. I think it will make being in a wheelchair seem not so different to kids who aren't”.

Thalia

“Not only does it show that girls in wheelchairs can be princesses too, but it also shows that aspiring princesses don't need to wait around for their prince to rescue them.”
