Synopsis
Jack, a young student, is convinced that poetry is for girls and wants nothing to do with it. However, his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, persistently assigns poetry tasks. Through these assignments, Jack begins to explore his thoughts and feelings, especially about his beloved dog, Sky. As he writes, Jack discovers the power of words and finds his own voice, transforming his initial reluctance into a heartfelt expression of love and loss.
