BOB THE BOO-BOO

WRITTEN BY MÉLINA SCHOENBORN

ILLUSTRATED BY SANDRA DUMAIS

An adorable boo-boo named Bob is looking for a cozy place to settle down when he spots a little boy who’s fallen off his bike and hurt himself. “Can I be your boo-boo?” Bob asks the boy. When the boy agrees, Bob eagerly jumps up onto his scraped knee. It’s a perfect spot, and Bob and the boy spend many glorious days doing everything together. That is, until the boy starts to realize what Bob has known all along. Boo-boos and little boys can’t stay together forever. This fun and original story is the perfect remedy for any child who’s got a boo-boo of their own, and a great choice for helping children navigate their emotions after getting hurt.
