What Happened To You?

What Happened to You? is a unique picture book that addresses how a disabled child might feel when constantly asked about their disability. The story follows Joe, who is repeatedly questioned about his leg, but the book cleverly shifts the focus to acceptance and imagination. With beautifully judged, child-friendly language and warm illustrations, it evokes the fatigue of repeated questions and the delight of shared imagination. The book is praised for its ability to foster empathy and help nondisabled children understand the perspective of a disabled child, while also empowering disabled children to feel accepted. The book's groundbreaking approach makes it a valuable tool for opening conversations about disability with preschool kids. It reflects the world of a visibly disabled child in a funny and enjoyable way, generating useful discussions at home and school. The illustrations are characterful and the narrative exudes gentle energy and humor, making it appealing to every child.
