You can read the summary in other reviews. Essentially, Humpty has a great fall and is put back together physically. But, the emotional scars of fear from falling still exist. Towards the end of the story he overcomes his fear by having faith in the process and taking one step at a time accepting that he's terrified and nervous. In the end, he is no longer afraid and literally finds some freedom in that.

After the Fall How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again Dan Santat 9781626726826 Books Reviews

Full disclosure I'm currently trying to learn to write picture books. I bought this book because it was one of the most-recommended books of 2017. I read it and loved it. My only complaint is that after reading it, I despaired over my own writing. I know that I'll never write something as elegant and powerful as this!

But most of the people considering this book are buying it because they want to give it to or read it to a child. I'm happy to report that this book passes that test, too. My 6 year old loved it and took it to school to share with his classmates. (His teacher like it too, by the way.)

The bottom line is that to me this feels like a new classic. It's hard to predict which books will make it onto the list of "great picture books" and stay there, but I think this one will. It has an important message (delivered without too much preachiness) and beautiful artwork. I love it.
A delightful story with a message and an uplifting twist at the end. The version took awhile to understand how to use, but in the end it was worth it. The customer service person was as perplexed as I was about the navigation, but then indicated that she wanted to purchase the book herself. Then I read it with a relative, who also purchased the book. Heh...we are all adults. How to use the version tap twice to shift the reader between "swipe" and "reading" modes. When in reading mode, tap once on the right side of the page to move forwards, or tap once on the left to move backwards -- the font goes from teensy tiny to readable, and the detailed graphics become enlarged. If you don't want to read ALL of the cereal boxes (but you might want to just once), tap twice to go into "swipe" mode, and then tap twice on the box to which you want to read. Regarding the storyline, I noticed that some of the reviewers found the end of the story confusing or tragic, versus uplifing. If this happens to you (and even if it doesn't), I recommend reading the story a few times. No spoilers here though -). It is just a really good book.
“After the Fall (How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again)” My new favorite children's book! Beautiful, amazing, surprising . . . . and so much more! (Don't read further if you haven't read it yet). The ending was incredible. At first, I thought, after he was back up on the wall and started to get some cracks, that the blue bird landed on him . . . causing him to break completely into empty shell pieces and empty clothes and falling again. I thought . . . "What?!" Then my grandson, Aiden, pointed out that he turned into a bird (which is what Humpty loved watching from up on that wall) . . . and I thought "No, this is Humpty Dumpty! He can't just turn into a bird!" Then I thought, "Wait. This is a fairy tale! Anything can happen." Okay, that was pretty good, UNTIL I realized, "Humpty Dumpty was an EGG. He hatched! Not only did he overcome his fear, but he became what he was always meant to be and what he loved!" Wow! -)
