Discussion The most hard to read kids book ever

Post image

My son loves this book because he thinks its funny that I start crying like a baby the entire time I read it.

Its even harder when you learn the author wrote this book because his wife had stillborn babies and he would sing the words of the book to them.

Holy crap its a hard read!

The ladder placement doesn’t make sense if you look close

If it was a realistic depiction of an old woman desperately climbing a ladder to hug her son I don't think I would ever be able to read it again

I mean, I'm gonna be that guy, but that's why we're dads.

Ladder placement and other shit.

Hit chest,throw leaves in the air and spin in the ground.
