Where Did You Go, Little Brother? A Book for Children Who Have Lost a Loved One

by Linda M. Galante

Overview

Where Did You Go, Little Brother? is Linda Galante's second published book. Her first book, Still Warmed by Your Love, is a compilation of letters she wrote to her son, Michael, after he died in October 2010. The letters were a way of dealing with her immense grief and became a source of comfort and healing.

Michael's death also became the inspiration for this second book. Recognizing there are few books available to help children deal with the pain and sadness of losing a loved one, she wrote Where Did You Go, Little Brother? using her two children, Lauren and Michael, as inspiration.

Where Did You Go, Little Brother? contains a toolbox of ideas for helping children of all ages deal with grief, with the difficulty of understanding death, and with the feelings of anger, sadness and being scared that arise when dealing with loss of a loved one. As with her other book, this book is also about hope. It is Linda Galante's hope that with this book she can help children find acceptance of the unexplainable, continuation of love beyond death, and a path to healing.
