"Mama's got a zooming machine
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. ( )

Wonderful book written from the child's perspective about his adventures with his mother, who uses a wheelchair. ( )

Mama Zooms is a sweet book about a little boy, we are never told his name, who describes the many adventures he and his mother go on while "zooming" on his mother's wheelchair. I enjoyed this book, it shows the love between a mother and son, and you can tell how much "zooming" with his mother means to him. At the end of the book, the little boy says his Mama zooms him to bed and, "Then Mama is just my mama, and that's how I like her best."I thought that was so sweet, the little boy loves his mom, not just because she plays with him on her wheelchair. The illustrations are really cute, showing the different adventures they go on very well. I enjoyed this story, the sweet simple message of love, and how Mama being in a wheelchair is normal and fun. I would recommend this book. ( )

This is a sweet story about a boy spending his days with his mom, zooming here to there, playing make-believe the whole way. When she zooms him down the smooth sidewalk, she his race car, and when she zooms across the lawn, she's his race car. The illustrations focus on him and his mom rather than the wheelchair, which shows us how the disability is not bringing her down, but her son sees it as her superpower. I think that this would be very good to share to a class by showing that our parents are all different, but a disability doesn't hold you back. ( )
