The Boy Who Fell to Bits

This book is a poem. But don’t worry. It’s not one of those frilly poems that say things like, ‘my love is like a honey-dipped cloud of trembly ferns’. It’s more like the poems that Dr Seuss and Roald Dahl wrote. It’s a story. The star of the story is a boy who has some pretty terrible things happen to him. He literally falls to bits. (That’s the way life goes sometimes.) Fortunately, some kind birds arrive to help him out. I’m not sure they know what they are doing though. I hope your life is nothing like this boy’s life. Even though he does have a happy ending, he’s got a rough journey to get there. If you have been unlucky like the boy, maybe his story will give you hope that you could have a happy ending too. And maybe there will be some kind finches along the way.
