Reviews “A Touching Story…” My younger brother and I enjoyed
reading "Broken" together.
It was such a touching story! Ms. Lewis is very creative to write a
children's picture book dealing with cancer and barnyard animals. My younger brother felt as though he could
truly relate to poor Nick the baby chick and his struggles--he had broken his
leg while playing soccer a few weeks before we read the book. He asked me if he was going to lose his leg
too, and if the other children would treat him differently, like the barnyard
animals did. I told him they probably
wouldn't, but I hoped he would find his own cute little piglet also. He promptly asked our mother for a potbelly
pig. In the end, though, we had a nice
conversation about childhood illness and acceptance. Thank you, Ms.
Lewis! We look forward to your next
book covering the very intriguing disease B.O.O.P! - Minako
