Synopsis

Joe is enjoying a lively game of pirates at the playground when other children notice he has only one leg. They bombard him with questions like, "Did it fall off? Was it a lion?" Joe grows increasingly frustrated until the kids realise they don't need to know what happened and join him in play. This heartfelt story, based on the author's experiences, teaches empathy and the importance of respecting others' boundaries.
