Fort Lauderdale, March 2005:  A real-life canine role model is immortalized with words and in pictures in Sari Mitchell and Greg Raische’s new children’s book, Ollie the Trolley.  Ollie, the real-life hero dog, lost his hind legs to an infection.  Ollie wears a trolley-like device to wheel around.  Despite the unimaginable pain this true-life puppy has gone through, his spirit and resolve made him the perfect role model for children of all ages and inspired this beautifully-illustrated children’s book, the first of the Patty-the-Petsitter series.  

Follow Ollie and Patty on their sunny afternoon adventure in this fanciful portrayal of the real life Ollie.  This brave, happy, and loving, handicapped wiener dog will unlock even the hardest of hearts.  Ollie is inspiration and example for everyone who has faced hardship and disability, and an education for those on the outside looking in.  The matter-of-fact approach to Ollie’s handicap makes Ollie the Trolley the perfect vehicle for introducing the concept of disabilities to young audiences.  Raische’s rhymes make Ollie an easy-read for beginning readers and Mitchell’s detailed crayon renderings are delightful.  There is even a little quiz at the end of the book to make certain the reader has paid attention to the tiny details!
