Dan Santat brings new life into the
classic tale of Humpty Dumpty. If you have ever fallen,
you know how hard it can be to get back up again. Finding
out why Humpty was up on the wall, his deep love of bird
watching, helps the reader become invested in this story
of courage. After Humpty Dumpty’s famous fall, he has to
find a way to get back up again. His fear of getting back
up on that steep wall after his terrible fall makes
perfect sense, but nothing was going to stop Humpty Dumpty
from being close to his beloved birds. After the Fall (How
Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again) is a touching tale of
perseverance and following your dreams.
