In this poignant picture book, a young girl contemplates the emotions and challenges of growing up with a brother who is incarcerated. Based on the author’s own childhood experiences, the story unfolds with vivid illustrations that capture the essence of her journey.
Recognized as an NCTE Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book and NPR Best Book of the Year, and a Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book, this narrative delves into the complexities of familial relationships affected by incarceration. The girl navigates through a range of feelings stirred by her brother's absence. She fondly recalls moments when he would carry her on his shoulders or invent bedtime stories, juxtaposed with moments of anger and a desire to escape the reality of his absence.
When her Mama and Daddy decide to embark on the 500-mile journey to visit him—an opportunity not all families have—the girl experiences a mix of excitement and apprehension. Upon seeing her brother, she finds solace in the familiarity despite the changes. His physical absence from home contrasts with the enduring presence of his love.
Written with spare yet gentle words, the book offers reassurance to young readers who may relate to similar experiences, assuring them they are not alone. It also provides insight for other readers into the challenges faced by children with incarcerated family members.
Through its evocative narrative and illustrations, this book serves as both a mirror and a window, reflecting the personal journey of coping with familial separation while offering a glimpse into a reality that many children confront silently. It emphasizes resilience, the enduring bonds of love, and the emotional complexities inherent in such circumstances.
Overall, this moving story invites readers into a world where love transcends physical barriers, where memories provide comfort, and where understanding and empathy can flourish. It is a testament to the power of storytelling to connect us all, regardless of our circumstances.
