WHEN I BECAME YOUR BROTHER is a charming and sweet picture book written from an older brother to their younger sibling. The book tells about the ways in which they will care for and look out for them as they grow.

What I loved: This is the sweetest picture book, perfect for a new older brother or as a gift from an older brother to their sibling at any age. It is full of heart and love with adorable big and little foxes pictured throughout. The text is brief on each page, making them turn quickly, and the message of love and care is present with each line. The illustrations are lovely and imaginative, evoking the same feelings as the text. The younger sibling is not gendered, so this works from older brothers to little brothers or sisters.

Final verdict: WHEN I BECAME YOUR BROTHER is a lovely and heartfelt picture book, perfect for older brothers to share with little siblings.
