About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the absence of a loved one or struggling to find their voice against a local bully. It is a gentle yet profound bridge for children who feel small in the face of big fears. Through a series of letters between two brothers during World War II, the story explores how courage is often a quiet choice rather than a loud act. While the setting is historical, the emotional core is timeless: the bond between siblings and the way we draw strength from those who believe in us. At just over 100 pages with an accessible reading level, it is perfect for 8 to 12 year olds who might be intimidated by longer novels but are ready for deep emotional themes. It models how to process anxiety and find the resilience to stand up for oneself, even when your hero is miles away.
