The Missing Piece
The Missing Piece | Shel Silverstein
17 posts | 39 read | 2 to read
It was missing a piece. And it was not happy. So it set off in search of its missing piece. And as it rolled it sang this song -Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece I'm lookin' for my missin' piece Hi-dee-ho, here I go, Lookin' for my missin' piece. What it finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told in this fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment.

This is a poem about a circle who feels incomplete and goes on a quest to find its missing piece. Along the way, the circle learns important lessons about self-acceptance and how we don‘t need others to complete us.

I'll admit this didn't end where I thought it would! An encouraging message of one's worth regardless of their relationship status.

My sweet lover gave me these Shel Silverstein books for Valentine‘s day. And I‘ve never felt more seen and understood in my life — he truly knew it would be the perfect gift. What a man ❤️ Life isn‘t about finding your missing piece. It‘s about two wholes coming together to make something greater.

Hogwarts is looking amazing. I am on bag 14 out of 36, but this bag was missing a piece! #Hogwarts2018

Ericalambbrown Write LEGO an email- they‘ll send you another piece. At least they did for me a few years ago when my daughter‘s Diagonal Alley was missing a piece. (edited) 6y

tournevis If you lived near me, I'd just give it to you. We have like 20 of those 1x1 blocks with the nub on the side. 6y
Lauram My HP set was missing a piece, too. The Lego website makes it very easy to request the missing piece you need. 6y

This book has always had a spot on the shelves at home but only after I reread it today did it‘s meaning really hit me. In only a few words and simple pictures Silverstein is able to convey a message about happiness and fulfillment on our journey of life. Worth reading if you haven‘t and worth revisiting as well

DrSpalding Another great choice! I had a previous student turn this into a digital storytelling using clay animation! Wow! 6y

This is such a cute book! This is good one for early readers. It has a simple story with a powerful message that I think is important for young people to know. You don't need another person to feel complete, you can be happy with just yourself. ❤️❤️❤️❤️/5 (4/5)

"Hi-dee-go, here I go lookin' for my missin' piece" Shel Silverstein's poetry book, The Missing Piece takes readers on an adventure with an imaginary creature who is looking for his missing wedge. Shel's website has an animation of the book, so students can feel like the wedge is really moving on their adventure with them. He also has awesome event kits for poetry month! http://www.shelsilverstein.com/books/missing-piece/ #ucflae3414sp17
