The Boy Who Cried Poo

Alessandra Requena

A laugh-out-loud story with heart, based on true events about one boy's trip to the loo and learning that everyone has accidents sometimes.

A father is just trying to take his kids for a refreshing swim in the pool, but every time they jump in...

"DAD! I NEED TO POOP!"

By the time they get to the bathroom: "I don't need to go anymore!" Sound familiar?
Back and forth, back and forth they go. "Just poop already!" yells the big sister.

Until finally, the little brother... does. Oops!

Based on true events in the real life of one unfortunate little brother...
A laugh-out-loud story with heart, because when you gotta go, you gotta go!
