Subjects
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 . . . A groundbreaking picture book which explores how we respond to disability. Winner of the Inclusive Books for Children Awards 2024.
Reviews
This is such an important book to have in the classroom and for everyone to read. It challenges the way that people percieve other people in the world.

a lovely book telling the reader that despite the physical "differences" Joe has, he just wants to be seen the same as everyone, and he doesnt understand why everyone isnt seen as amazing. A great story of seeing everyone as equals
