Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Where Is My Brother?
Sean Edward Fox · 2025
70/100
👍 Worth It
Sean Edward Fox wrote this picture book after losing his own son in 2022, and that lived experience gives it an authenticity that manufactured grief books rarely achieve — few picture books address sibling death from the surviving child's perspective, and this one fills a real gap. It is a new indie title without formal critical review yet, and the emotional weight means parents need to be ready for the conversation it will open. For families navigating child loss, it earns its place.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Heavy emotional subject matter — sibling death · Parents should prepare to discuss death and grief · Very new title with limited critical coverage. We still scored it 70; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
