Mooi Resha Library

I didn’t expect a book about a stick to make me feel this way. 🪵💔

I read **Stick Man** for the first time as an adult, and while the rhymes are fun for kids, the emotional core of the story is what stayed with me.

As an adult, you don't just see a stick on an adventure. You see a family member who is lost. You feel his desperate longing to get back to his “Family Tree.”

It’s a story about resilience, yes, but mostly It's about being together as a family.

It’s my absolute favorite Julia Donaldson book because it speaks to the grown-up reading it just as much as the child listening.

📚 **Have you ever read a ‘children’s book’ that made you feel a very ‘adult’ emotion?**

I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Available to borrow at Mooi Resha Library.

**DM to reserve this masterpiece!**
