Harriet's Chariot is about a little girl who is in a terrible accident and has to use a wheel chair. When she returns to school after a long period in the hospital, she is teased and bullied about her injured legs. The story focuses on how she overcomes this problem with the help of her teacher and her mother. A contest is set up for the students, challenging them to move the wheel chair as quickly as they can from start line to finish line, their times recorded on a chart by the teacher. This helps classmates recognize how hard it is to move oneself in a wheel chair. Even the bully acknowledges Harriet's (Rosa's) wheelchair as a chariot of fire, she goes so fast! The story is bilingual, written in English and Spanish. The illustrations by Fernanda Miguel Godinez Zu???iga, a student at EEESMA, a school for the deaf in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, captures the story in a charming and refreshing way, allowing the reader to make sense of the second language through the pictures. For deaf students, Mexican Sign Language is their first language, Spanish is their second, and English is third. Children ages 6-10 can relate to the bullying and get excited about how this problem was solved. They can think about being wheelchair bound and the effort the young heroine made to overcome her problems. All proceeds from this book benefit the Escuela de Educaci???n Especial San Miguel de Allende (EEESMA), the school for deaf children, which makes such a huge difference in these students' lives. La Carroza de Rosa es sobre una ni???a peque???a que est??? en un terrible accidente y tiene que usar una silla de ruedas.

La historia se centra en c???mo supera este problema con la ayuda de su maestra y su madre. Se organiza un concurso para los estudiantes, desafi???ndolos a mover la silla de ruedas lo m???s r???pido posible desde la l???nea de inicio hasta la l???nea de meta, sus tiempos registrados en una tabla por el maestro. Esto ayuda a los compa???eros de clase a reconocer lo dif???cil que es moverse uno mismo en una silla de ruedas. Incluso el mat???n reconoce la silla de ruedas de Rosa como un carroza de fuego, ???va tan r???pido! La historia es biling???e, escrita en ingl???s y espa???ol. Las ilustraciones de Fernanda Miguel God???nez Z??????iga, una estudiante de EEESMA, una escuela para sordos en San Miguel de Allende, M???xico, captan la historia de una manera encantadora y refrescante, permitiendo al lector dar sentido a la segunda lengua a trav???s de las im???genes.
