Best Book - Overall
# 1 What Happened to You?
When some children differ from others, they are frequently questioned. The distinction can be because of a disability or physical characteristic, where they live, or what they eat. In this story, Little Joe is in a similar situation. However, his reaction to the question makes it less painful for him. It even causes the other children to move on. Warm and stunning illustrations enhance this moving story. Remember to check out the pirate and sharks! Check our full review by clicking on the book icon.
