She combined her two passions; writing, and her family, to develop the picture book ‘Timothy’s Magic Wheelchair’, featuring characters based on her relatives. The main character, Timothy, is based on Ale and uses a wheelchair which turns out to be magical! We spoke to Gabriela to hear more about the book and how it CAN help to change perspectives.
