Bookroo's summary
Joe, a child with a limb difference, is tired of being praised for ordinary feats.

This story challenges assumptions about disability, inviting readers to see it as a normal part of life. Will Joe find a way to be seen for who he truly is?
From the publisher
A Schneider Family Book Award Honor book! In this authentic and humorous picture book, a child with a limb difference is tired of being told how amazing he is for doing normal things. Joe and his friend Simone are practicing their best playground tricks, but everyone keeps saying how amazing Joe is, even when he tries to let Simone be the star. Will he ever get to be just Joe, whether he’s amazing or not? This companion to What Happened to You? addresses the assumptions people make about those with disabilities in an accessible, honest, and funny way. Based on James Catchpole’s childhood experiences and written with his wife, Lucy, a wheelchair user, You’re SO Amazing! encourages young readers to think of disability the way disabled people do: as normal.
