AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'When a grieving brother sets out to find his lost sibling, his quest takes him on an ethereal journey across land and sea - to fantastic, floating cities, and mediaeval towns full of dark alleyways and winding staircases - to vast open grasslands and eerie, silent forests - until eventually he arrives in place of timeless beauty and light.
'My Brother is a metaphorical picture book story for older children that looks at loss and grief from a sibling's perspective.' (Publication summary)
