I loved this book！ I have not found too many books about interacting with children with a disability， and I am so happy I found this one。 It covered many interesting questions about having a disability and even discussed the point that people with a disability do not need to explain themselves or answer everyone's questions。 I loved this book！ I have not found too many books about interacting with children with a disability， and I am so happy I found this one。 It covered many interesting questions about having a disability and even discussed the point that people with a disability do not need to explain themselves or answer everyone's questions。 。。。more

This book is equal parts charming， witty， and CRITICAL DISABILITY EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN AND PARENTS。 Joe is kid trying to play pirates but all the other children want to do is ask about his leg。 He doesn’t answer the questions， and eventually one friend realizes he doesn’t need to and it’s actually been quite upsetting for him。The author’s note is imperative in helping parents realize that kids are going to be curious about disabled people， and if they ask a question， it’s not the end of th This book is equal parts charming， witty， and CRITICAL DISABILITY EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN AND PARENTS。 Joe is kid trying to play pirates but all the other children want to do is ask about his leg。 He doesn’t answer the questions， and eventually one friend realizes he doesn’t need to and it’s actually been quite upsetting for him。The author’s note is imperative in helping parents realize that kids are going to be curious about disabled people， and if they ask a question， it’s not the end of the world。 Hopefully this book and subsequent conversations can prevent it， but we give kids a little grace and room to learn。But beyond the powerful message， this is simply a beautiful storybook that we will always treasure on our shelves。 。。。more
