Holiday Adventures

Zoe, feeling stuck in her wheelchair, longs for adventure when she feels that everyone else can have all the fun, but when her class celebrates various winter holidays, she learns that everyone is different and excitement takes many forms.

My hope is that this book will bring excitement to the lives of all who read and hear it and that it will encourage children to get outside, play, and have as much fun as I did in my childhood years.

Zoe mostly has it good. Her parents are nice, her brother isn‰Ûªt half bad, and her dog Ella is amazing. But Zoe thinks her life is boring ‰ÛÒ nothing ever changes. She‰Ûªs stuck in her wheelchair and her parents never let her do anything fun. And it really bugs her that some of the kids think she‰Ûªs not smart just because her body doesn‰Ûªt always do what she wants. Then in the midst of the holiday season, Zoe learns about the diverse cultures of her friends at school, and realizes she‰Ûªs not the only different one in class. While celebrating the traditions of Christmas, Hanukkanh, Kwanzaa, Divali and Eid, she realizes that excitement can arrive in weird and challenging ways. Will Zoe succeed when she needs to take charge for the first time? Or, is having adventures really not as great as she thought?

This book is a description of where they lived and how they ended up in the Antarctic. They were hoping one day to meet their sister Jenny, who lived on the other side of the freezing Antarctic. They said goodbye to their friends who were swimming to Hervey Bay, Queensland, where it is warm. They decided, after a few days, to go themselves. They were warned by their father to watch out for whaling boats, which they had a close call with. They passed by many sailing boats, ships, and bays. They also went past Botany Bay, and they rested at Bondi, close to the beach where the people were in awe of their breaches out of the water. They rested there before they moved on.
