Mi Hermano Mayor/My Big Brother by Miriam Cohen

Mi Hermano Mayor/My Big Brother by Miriam Cohen

The young narrator of this story is a little boy who idolizes his grown-up brother. When big brother leaves for the army, he tells the boy that he must now be the man of the house. The boy tries to help his Mama and little brother in ways that would make his older brother proud. The family rituals go on as usual, but the big brother's absence is a cloud that hovers over their daily life. This timely book will touch everyone, especially those who have loved ones in the military.
