| Summary | "Big Brother" by Annie F. Johnston is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The book follows the poignant journey of two orphaned boys, Steven and his younger brother Robin, as they navigate their way through loss, loneliness, and the complexities of finding a new home. It encapsulates themes of brotherly love, resilience, and the warmth of human connection, particularly in a world that can often be unforgiving to vulnerable children. The story begins with the boys traveling by train to a new life after the tragic loss of their parents. Steven, the older brother, exhibits remarkable devotion and care for Robin, ensuring that he feels secure and loved amid the uncertainty of their situation. As they are taken in by a kind farmer and his wife, the boys experience both the joys and struggles of adapting to a new environment. Despite facing challenges, Steven's unwavering commitment to Robin shines through, even when the boys are temporarily separated. Ultimately, "Big Brother" is a heartwarming tale about the bonds of family, the impact of kindness, and the significance of compassion, making it a touching read for both children and adults.
