Today, Brother is taking me up to swim in the lake like Father used to.

On a sweltering day, a little boy and his brother prepare to dive into the cool lake waters glistening below. Only this time, Father is not here. And the water looks so far away. How can the boy take the plunge?

With exquisite gouache art, debut author-illustrator Angie Kang presents a tender, healing story of brothers holding space for their grief and each other, and of honoring the loved ones and the memories that give us strength and comfort for a lifetime.
