Illustrated by
Joe Bluhm.
A collection of handwritten notes and drawings from a brother to his younger sister documents their relationship. What starts with uncertainty at her birth ("I am not sure I love you yet") grows to an unshakeable bond and reassurance of his love when he leaves for college ("Everything changes. Almost everything"). Humorous and heartwarming illustrations help tell the moving story of siblings confronting challenges together and coming out stronger.
