Inhaltsangabe

When his beloved sister dies and his parents are too grief-stricken to attend to him, a little boy must figure out on his own how to process what has happened. When he visits his local library and a kind librarian hands him a “magic ticket,” he finds an unexpected sanctuary in the world of books. Could reading be the gateway to understanding, and coping with, such a devastating loss?

Author David Hicks and illustrator Kateri Kramer have created a tender and moving tale of loss, grief, and the healing power of storytelling, “a love letter to story, to books, and to libraries as a space to nourish both mind and heart” (Maria Mayo, Anythink Libraries). Recommended for ages six and seven, and for grown-ups everywhere whose childhoods, like that of the author, were forever changed by the death of a loved one.

The boy loved having his sister in his room.
He tickled her tiny toes in the crib.
When she was asleep, he kept very quiet.
When she was awake, he read his book to her. 
“You are such a good big brother!” his mother said.
Then, one morning, his sister was not in her crib. 
The boy went downstairs to look for her. 
His mother was lying on the couch. She was very, very sad. 
His father was sitting in his chair. He was very, very sad. 
The boy stood between them. Where was his sister?
The boy’s father gave him a hug. “Your sister died,” he said. 
The boy was confused. He went back to his room. He tried to read his book. 
But it was different without his sister to read it to.
