Toby Price, a now former Gary Road Elementary School assistant principal in Mississippi, said he was "a mess" after he was terminated from his job.
Toby Price, the now former assistant principal at Gary Road Elementary School in Byram, told CNN he decided to read the book on March 2 when another principal failed to attend their mass Zoom read aloud. Price improvised, grabbed the book from his office and began to read.
The book -- written by Dawn McMillan and illustrated by Ross Kinnaird -- is ranked 34th in Amazon's "Top 100 in Books" and has a reading age for 6-to-10-year-olds. It's about a boy who notices his bottom has a "huge crack" and sets off to find a new one, according to Amazon's synopsis of the book.

The White House is making clear it views President Donald Trump’s Friday Oval Office showdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as an overwhelming win underscoring Trump’s “America First” leadership, dispatching top officials and allies on the airwaves to amplify Trump’s handling of the situation even as European leaders are putting on a key show of force of unity for Ukraine and its leader.
