My Almost Brother

What if your cousin felt more like a brother—and sometimes acted like one too?
Chloe never had a brother, but she had Alex.
He made her cry just to test a voice recorder. He played shadow games until she hid beneath the blanket. Sometimes he left her out—and then, one day, he didn't.
Through teasing, laughter, disagreements, and growing trust, Chloe and Alex discover a bond that doesn't need an official label to feel like family.
My Almost Brother is a warm and gently funny story about the sibling-like relationships that can grow in unexpected places—and the people who may not technically be our brothers or sisters but somehow become just as important.
Perfect for ages 4–9, this heartfelt story celebrates cousins, childhood memories, family connection, and the wonderfully imperfect bonds that can become unshakable over time.
