From Polio Survivor to Adaptive Sports Athlete
Check out Tony’s Wheels, a new bilingual (English and Filipino/Tagalog) children’s book.
I love this! Because:
#1 it’s a book about a polio survivor getting around in the world and into adaptive sports, and
#2 my Tita (Aunt) Mila Bongco-Phillipzig wrote it and I’m proud of her.
From the book webpage:
