Abstract
It is about a child in a wheelchair and the difficulties he experiences in the school environment, both in terms of accessibility and communication with other children. The essence of the book is about accepting diversity, inclusion and compassion. Issues such as isolation due to diversity and how a child who has suffered isolation embraces all his classmates with love and understanding. In the end, the roles of the children are reversed and one is in the place of the other, but the treatment is different.
