RUTABAGAS DON'T BUILD TREEHOUSES
When 10-year-old wheelchair-user Rutabaga Rae falls through a magical treehouse blueprint,
she’s shocked to find a ship full of stranded pirates in a tree, uncertain mermaids, riddling

parents are surely worried sick about her. Now, Ru will have to embrace her disability and
become the hero of the story, not despite her disability, but because of it.

With a little help from Ali, a blind ex-pat refugee, she might just be able to see herself and her disability. But only if she’s brave enough to fully see her past for the first time again.
