The Wheels in Mrs. Hildebrand’s Class

By Linda Dallmann and Diana Schuppel

The Wheels in Mrs. Hildebrand’s Class

These first graders love school. They love their teacher, Mrs. Hildebrand. What will they do when a former classmate shows up newly injured and in a wheelchair? In a scenario like this, emotions are hard to handle, but the way the teacher guides her class and the wonderful ways the kids participate bring a different view of what goes on.

The ideas they come up with to support their classmate’s adjustment and growth in his new situation are healing for everyone involved. The culmination, in a celebration of diversity and possibilities, makes their school year unforgettable for the characters in the story and the readers.

Linda Dallmann

Linda Dallmann has written this book so teachers and parents have a starting point for telling their children about cancer, how it affects people and how children can help those they love who have cancer. She has been an elementary teacher for 30+ years and a cancer survivor for 5+ years. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Robert Vetromile. Their two grown children live in the region. She plans to continue reading, writing and teaching, perhaps with a little help from "Mrs. Hildebrand and her kids."
