Jessie Found in the Big City is an inspiring picture book about creativity, determination, and the power of one child's imagination to spark real change.
Jessie is an imaginative, adventurous boy who uses a bright orange wheelchair. When his family moves to a bustling city, Jessie can't wait to explore every street, park, and subway station. But his excitement turns to frustration when he discovers that many parts of the city aren't built for him - cracked sidewalks, buses without ramps, and elevators that never seem to work.
Instead of giving up, Jessie decides to take action. With his iPhone in hand, he begins to dream up ways to make the city better for everyone - smoother paths, working elevators, colorful "roll lanes," and spaces where all kids can play together. When he shares his ideas, his creativity sparks a movement that brings the whole community together to rebuild their city into a place where everyone belongs.
Filled with hope, heart, and vibrant illustrations, Found in the Big City celebrates inclusivity and the belief that accessibility benefits everyone. This story empowers children to see challenges as opportunities for creativity and shows how even the smallest voice can make a big difference.
