Review:

This touching story beautifully captures the bond between two brothers. They have a blast playing catch with a football, sharing laughs over each other’s jokes, and enjoying games of hide and seek and video games. Their love for one another is evident. But then, something unexpected happens, and the older brother is no longer around. To cope with the loss, the younger brother finds solace in writing notes to his brother, a heartfelt way to heal. Even if he never receives a reply, he continues to do all the things they enjoyed together, feeling a sense of pride in keeping their connection alive. 

Everyone experiences grief in their own unique way, especially after losing someone they care about. This book serves as a thoughtful guide for navigating those feelings. It emphasizes that even though a loved one is gone, you can still reach out and let them know they're on your mind. It’s a wonderful resource for parents looking to help their children through the grieving process.
