Paddy's Recess Adventures at Hilltop School - Paperback

Paddy the Muskrat drives a bright yellow wheelchair with green racing stripes. He's in the second grade and is struggling with a bully named Luke the Skunk. Luke is forming a recess club and won't let Paddy and his new friend Austin the Rabbit join, simply because they're not skunks.

Luke is secretly jealous of Paddy and Austin's newfound friendship. The skunk struggles to form a relationship with Paddy, but is not sure what to think about his wheelchair or his disability of having cerebral palsy. Luke learns the hard way that being bossy and excluding others doesn't help you keep friends. And, he learns that Paddy can be a great friend when given the chance.

Paddy's Recess Adventures at Hilltop School is the second book in the series and the sequel to Paddy's First Day at Hilltop School.

Says the author, "I feel like everyone can learn from Paddy and his adventures, with being in a wheelchair and having a disability. Having a disability myself, I always want to encourage others to reach for their dreams."

Sean Rooney lives in his hometown of Bourbonnais, Illinois. "Writing is my day job, but I also love creating art with my wheelchair. I also do motivational speaking at schools regarding my disability and book publishing."
