A Wheelchair for Francis is the true story of a young Ugandan boy and his desire to have
a wheelchair after a sickness leaves him unable to walk. Francis Mugwanya enjoys
friends, fruit and football but the opinions of the villagers have made him feel sad and
empty. Can he find his true identity? Will he ever be happy? Covering issues such as
disease, disability, discrimination and determination, readers of all ages will empathize
with this touching story and delight in the beautiful illustrations. All proceeds support
mobility in Uganda.
