Review

"OE Wants It To Be Friday' is a special book celebrating a girl named Olga Elise who has cerebral palsy but still leads an active, rich life. Another real person featured in "OE Wants It To be Friday" is Austin Hanson, who is an adult US Paralympic Boccia Team competitor despite his cerebral palsy diagnosis. 'OE Wants It To Be Friday' is a typical inspirational biographical sketch about a real child who is practicing learning the skills of self-determination and communication. The message of inclusion is paramount in this and other books in this series." Nancy Lorraine, Senior Reviewer Midwest Book Review
