What Happened to You?
Author: James Catchpole

Publisher: Faber & Faber
Joe loves visiting the playground and making up games about pirates. He also happens to have one leg. This means he is constantly having to field a volley of questions from other children desperate to know what happened to his leg, but is Joe obliged to answer these questions?
An empathetic and empowering picturebook that depicts physical disability not as a teachable moment, but as an ordinary facet of someone's life.
Followed by 'You're So Amazing!', in which Joe finds himself the subject of either pity or praise from both children and adults.
