"Ironhead" Aimee Bender

    "Ironhead" if taken literally is an unbelievable tale of  a man and woman who are cursed with the heads of pumpkins that gave birth to a boy with a head made of an iron.  I actually like to look at the story as a little boy who was born with a serious birth defect.  Not only was this boy totally different from the other kids at his school, his life was mad even more difficult because as kids often do they picked on him for being different.  This story is a sad story that happens in every school in America, if you are different you get picked on.  Sadly this little boy with the head of an iron dies, he really shouldn't have lived much past birth.  I feel old enough to know that being mean to people with disabilities is wrong.  This story would probably benefit children in elementary school to teach them a bit of a morale lesson.
