Norma Jean, Jumping Bean by Joanna Cole

Norma Jean, the kangaroo loves to jump. The problem is that her jumping gets out of hand, causing accidents and some hurt feelings among her friends, and Norma stops her jumping entirely. But when the school's field-day games come up, Norma Jean is talked back into action for her team to win. Unfortunately the book tends to focus solely on her jumping around, instead of her as a person, or should I say kangaroo. The title itself defines Norma by her disability. I would caution using this book as it implies a more negative perspective than a positive one.
