The children are told by their caregiver that they are ‘not normal children’ and will never be able to ride upon amusement rides. This hurts and saddens the children, so they create a carnival of their minds where they can ride upon the rides and where their disabilities can’t stop them. As years go by and the children grow into their adult years, Maggie remembers the hurt of being called ‘not normal’ and makes their dreams come true. Maggie makes the dream carnival reality. The carnival is designed for children with disabilities—because all children are normal.”
