Wheelchair Champions: A History of Wheelchair Sports

by Harriet May Savitz

Book Overview

"This would be exciting and informative enough if it simply described the growth of organized sports for the handicapped or described sports careers of men and women who are paraplegics.and it does. What it adds is a great deal of information about attitudes toward the handicapped.and facts about their capabilities." -Bulletin Center for Children's Books "It is a story of hope for the newly injured and their families as one reads of the accomplishment of others." -Catholic Library World "The history of wheelchair sports in the U.S. is well told in Wheelchair Champions." -Interracial Books for Children
