A funny, whip-smart, friendly picture book about how it feels when strangers make you feel different because of your disability.

One-legged Joe is often told that he's Amazing Joe or Poor Joe, but what if he'd rather 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 icecream. Of course, being Amazing Joe is better than being Poor Joe. But Joe doesn't want to be Amazing Joe OR Poor Joe. He's happiest when he's just Joe.

A important picture book which discusses the process of "othering" in all its forms.
