Description
Winner of the Inclusive Books for Children Picture Book Award 2024, shortlisted for the UKLA Book Awards and the LITTLE REBELS Book Award. A funny, whip-smart, friendly picture book that asks readers to imagine how othering it would feel if strangers believed they had to compensate for a person's disability with every interaction. When people meet Joe, they often treat him as Amazing Joe or Poor Joe.
But can't he just be . . . Joe?One-legged Joe is 'amazing'. He knows this because wherever he goes people always tell him he's amazing.
Amazing for sliding down the slide, for kicking a ball . . . even walking to get an ice cream, or even just eating an ice cream.
Of course, being Amazing Joe is better than being Poor Joe . . . 'This book should be in every library.' School Librarian Journal'challenges the idea of disability as automatically "inspirational".' The Guardian'funny, warm and informative.' The Bookseller'A crucial contribution to literature for pre- and primary-schoolers.' Disability Arts Online
