My Friend Lena is a touching and joyful story told through the eyes of Mia, a young girl who proudly shares what makes her best friend Lena so special. Lena has 1P36 deletion syndrome and uses a purple wheelchair. Though she may not speak with words or move like other kids, Lena expresses herself through laughter, gestures, music, and love.

Through everyday adventures-racing in the park, singing to Adele, playing with her favorite singing puppy toy, and quiet story time-Mia shows readers that true friendship doesn't need to look or sound a certain way. It just needs heart.

This beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates inclusion, empathy, and the magic of being different. It helps children understand disabilities in a warm and positive way, while reminding all of us that every child has their own unique way of lighting up the world.
