Wheelie Girl is Molly - a little girl with a big complex. Her insecurities are somewhat justified by the fact that she has wheels for feet. Struggling to keep pace with the everyday activities of her peers, and overwhelmed by frustration at the limitations of her predicament, she exclaims “I can't do ANYTHING!”, and is about to give up trying, when her wheels actually come in handy for once.
Molly's friends are bursting with praise when she is the only one who can catch up with Rufus the dog, returning him to his grateful owner. Much like Rudolph (the Red Nose Reindeer) before her, Molly discovers that sometimes it pays to be different. A rather obvious metaphor for disability, Wheelie Girl is nevertheless an entertaining and reassuring tale, with striking illustrations and a lively text layout that keeps the story moving.
