En este conmovedor libro ilustrado, basado en las experiencias propias de la autora, una niña reflexiona sobre las emociones y los desafíos que enfrenta en torno al encarcelamiento de su hermano mayor. A veces recuerda cómo él la cargaba sobre los hombros o inventaba historias a la hora de dormir; otras veces siente enojo y quiere volar lejos. Cuando sus papás la llevan a visitarlo, los nervios se transforman en alegría: todo es diferente, pero todo sigue igual. Con un lenguaje suave y reconfortante, ayuda a los lectores con historias similares a sentirse menos solos.

English Translation

My Brother Is Away

In this moving picture book based on the author's own experiences, a young girl reflects on the emotions and challenges surrounding her older brother's incarceration. With her brother in prison, she learns to sort through confusing feelings: sometimes she remembers how he carried her on his shoulders or invented bedtime stories, and sometimes she feels angry and wants to fly away. When her parents take her to visit him, nerves turn to joy—everything is different, yet everything is the same. Gentle, comforting language helps children with similar stories feel less alone and opens a window for other readers.
