Ask Me Something Too

Gus loves his sister Wren. He knows how to find Fig, skip the creaky stair, and use his tiptoe feet on loud-body days. But when another family plan bends around Wren's pain, Gus starts to wonder whether anybody sees him too. A tender, honest story for the sibling: the jealousy, the guilt, the quiet helping, and the need for something that belongs only to them. With an Our Just-Us List inside. Ages 4 to 10. In paperback on Amazon, or as a digital edition on Payhip and Etsy.
