About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'long wait' for a loved one who is far away, whether due to military deployment, work, or family circumstances. It is a gentle entry point for discussing how life continues even when a piece of the family is missing, focusing on the quiet strength found in daily routines and hope. Set against the historical backdrop of the American Revolution, the story follows young Hannah as she helps her family rebuild their home while her brother is held as a prisoner of war. The narrative emphasizes resilience and the transition from anxiety to optimism. It is perfectly pitched for early elementary readers who are ready for a chapter book with emotional depth but need a safe, comforting resolution.
