The book “After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again”, written and illustrated by Dan Santat, is the book we read for our PB Blogs today.
The book “After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again” Starts of by telling us what happened after Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall. He got repaired by the king and his men, but got PTSD and became afraid of heights. His fear kept him from heights for a long time, so he made a paper bird to fight his fear of heights. For a while, he felt like everything was ok again. But then an accident happened, and the bird came crashing down. Humpty Dumpty felt sad, and he was about to give up, but then he built up courage, and climbed all the way up, and took a leap of faith, turning from a egg into a bird.
I can connect this to myself because I used to have a fear of heights. I can relate this to media because in the movie “Black Panther”, the main character falls off a cliff and supposedly dies, but comes back and avenges his people. I can relate this to a book because there were millions of stories just like this. Lastly, I can relate this to the world because a lot of people get PTSD from things like this, and have to overcome it. Overall, I give this book a 9/10 and rate it for kids from the ages of 9-10.
