Sinopsis

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

Acerca de los autores

James runs a children's literary agency with his wife Lucy in Oxford, England. He sometimes writes books about a child-version of himself called Joe - in picture books What Happened to You? and You're So Amazing!. He filled some of the time between being Joe's age and the age he is now, by being an amputee footballer and itinerant busker, two professions where it actively helps to have one leg.

Lucy Catchpole is the author of Mama Car and co-author of You're So Amazing! She's a full-time wheelchair user and has written about disability for the Guardian and the BBC, and more often on her Instagram @thecatchpoles, where she and James also post about children's books and family life with their two daughters.

This means Karen still joyfully spends lots of time drawing and painting . . . and now she writes too! Karen lives in Bristol with her family and Dr Calamari the cat.
