About this resource
A thoughtful and moving picture book that explores disability, difference, and empathy through a gentle conversation between two children. When one child asks another, “What happened to you?”, the story unfolds as a reflection on how questions, assumptions, and curiosity can affect how we see others. The book shifts the focus away from explaining difference and instead invites readers to consider how people want to be seen and understood. Through warm illustrations and simple dialogue, children are encouraged to practise empathy, respect, and connection.
