Description

Dad passed away. My little brother and I now have no father. My little brother wishes he could play baseball with Dad. I play baseball with him but make mistakes and leave scratches on his face. My brother is depressed and lies down, while my older sister goes to her friend's home next door and dares to ask, "Can I borrow your Dad?" This picturebook tenderly mends broken hearts.
