An highly acclaimed theraputic twist on the classic Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme, from multi-award-winning picture book creator Dan Santat.
After the fall, Humpty Dumpty is a broken egg. Life is tough: he's so afraid of heights after his injury, he can't even bear to climb onto his bed, or reach his favourite cereal on the top shelf at the supermarket. But one day, fuelled by his passion for bird-watching, he decides to conquer his fears and something amazing happens...
A book that explores trauma and finding your confidence again after a fall with humour and heart.
‘A tender, wryly funny look at trauma and recovery’ GUARDIAN

"The images, influenced by pop art and Disney, are witty and reward close attention. Detailed pictures of interiors, roofscapes, and street scenes, cleverly lit, show how Humpty can’t sleep in his high bunk, how the boring cereals are on the low shelves, and how he walks along the shadow of a wall when he dare not climb the real thing."
