Illustrated by
Ronald Himler.
A young boy adores his older brother and misses him when the brother leaves to join the military. The young narrator tries to follow his big brother's example and take his place in the family. This quiet book conveys strong emotions through Cohen's simple short sentences and Himler's loose, realistic illustrations.
