Mama Zooms von Jane Cowen-Fletcher
In this book the main characters mom has a disability. It shows young readers how it is ok that adults can have a disability too and still function and love their child jus the same as any other adult.

and she zooms me everywhere."
Simple text pairs with joyful, up-close illustrations of a mother and her son zooming through the day. Their imaginations transform the wheelchair from a racehorse to an airplane to a ship at sea. Often the wheelchair is cropped out of the frame, but it is included in a few illustrations. The "zooming machine" and Mama, seen through the child's eyes, are both strong and positive: "Mama has very strong arms from all our zooming." The child's father appears at the beginning, to lift the child onto Mama's lap, and at the end, as they all go up a steep hill together.… (mehr)

This would be good for k-3rd grade students, it depicts the popular saying "it take a village" in reference to raising a kid. It is set in an African village and shows how everyone came together to take care of a lost little boy. It was a cute book but it seems to be slightly stereotypical to me. So I would be hesitant to read this aloud in my classroom.
A heartwarming story, based on the West African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child". A young girl proudly watches her little brother--only to discover that caring neighbors have been watching them both all along. Full-color illustrations by the author. Google Books
