What Happened to You?

The cover features colourful drawings, including two children, both on a swing. The left-hand side shows a girl with mickey mouse ear style buns on her dark hair, beige top with a rainbow on it, yellow skirt and red shoes. A child on the right-hand side is a boy with blond hair, red and white striped shirt, jean shorts and one blue shoe. His right leg is not there. The overall colour scheme is dominated by white, providing a clean and simple backdrop to the colourful illustrations. Text on the cover includes the title and authors.

What is this book about?

What happened to you? Was it a shark? A burglar? A lion? Did it fall off? Every time Joe goes out the questions are the same . . . what happened to his leg? But is this even a question Joe has to answer?

A ground-breaking, funny story that helps children understand what it might feel like to be seen as different.

What do young people with disability say about this book?

It is in black ink on a white background. The person has a very big head on top of a much smaller stick figure body. The person's eyes are large and protrude from the side of the head. The eyes have pinpoint pupils. The person has an animated look on their face with a small round open mouth and eyebrows elevated from the top of the head. Freckles are spread across the cheeks, either side of a long nose. Three short pieces of straight hair are sticking up from the middle of the head. The initials EH are written in the bottom right-hand corner.
