Bookroo's summary

Dimity, the shy sister of the legendary Humpty Dumpty, stays out of the spotlight while her family performs daring circus acts. But when Humpty takes a tumble, it's Dimity who must find her courage and offer help beyond what the king's soldiers can provide. Can this quiet hero save the day and mend what seems irreparable? With humor and heart, this tale reveals the unsung bravery behind a famous nursery rhyme.

From the publisher

With whimsy and warmth, Graham, author of Oscar’s Half Birthday, tells the lesser-known tale of a shy little soul who saves the day, paying tribute to a famous nursery rhyme figure and bringing smiles to his readers once again. Full color.
