 Written
and drawn by Peter H.
Reynolds, He Was Me is a quiet story about the
inner child in all of us, and the eternal struggle to retain
our sense of self in a busy world. In the film, as a man
waits at a bus stop in the rain, his inner child is brought
poignantly to life as he reflects on his past and ponders
his future.
As
Peter shares, "This is a gift to you - to educators
and caregivers. My hope is that if we can all remember what
it is like to be a child, we will be able to listen to the
children around us better - to serve them better. If children
see that we have not lost our own child spirit, they'll
be more likely to join the learning party."
Peter's
longtime collaborator John
Lechner directed the film, which includes a touching
musical score by Tony
Lechner.
