Where Did You Go, Little Brother? is Linda Galante’s second published book. Her first book, Still Warmed by Your Love, is a compilation of letters she wrote to her son, Michael, after he died in October 2010. The letters were a way of dealing with her immense grief and became a source of comfort and healing. Michael’s death also became the inspiration for this second book. Recognizing there are few books available to help children deal with the pain and sadness of losing a loved one, she wrote Where Did You Go, Little Brother? using her two children, Lauren and Michael, as inspiration. Where Did You Go, Little Brother? contains a toolbox of ideas for helping children of all ages deal with grief, with the difficulty of understanding death, and with the feelings of anger, sadness and being scared that arise when dealing with loss of a loved one. As with her other book, this book is also about hope. It is Linda Galante’s hope that with this book she can help children find acceptance of the unexplainable, continuation of love beyond death, and a path to healing.
When Linda Galante’s son, Michael, died suddenly at the tender age of twenty two, she was devastated. To cope with her immense grief, Linda started writing letters to Michael. These inspiring letters, which include several to her daughter, Lauren, and a few others, along with several poems that Michael had written as a child, helped her to sort out her feelings and became a source of comfort and healing. Still Warmed by Your Love is not only a mother’s reflections after the death of her only son, but also a reminder that letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. Rather, this book is about finding acceptance; recognizing that healing, like everything else, is a choice; and never losing hope that each day brings the opportunity for endless possibilities. After all, as Linda believes, even during tough times we should still “take time to appreciate the small gifts that surround us: the rising sun, the beautiful cloud formations, a pretty flower, or the smile of a child.”
