Dear Hamid, distant brother

A Story About Friendship, Hope, and the Family We Choose

What if a simple cereal box could change two lives forever?

Eight-year-old George believes that a long-distance adoption means exactly what it says: somewhere in the world, he now has a brother. A real brother. A brother named Hamid.

There is only one problem.

Nobody can find him.

While adults explain paperwork, procedures, and bureaucracy, George refuses to give up. Armed with determination, imagination, and an endless supply of letters, he begins an extraordinary search across continents, time zones, and cultures.

On the other side of the world, Hamid is struggling to rebuild his life after a devastating tsunami has taken everything he once knew. Everything except hope.

As letters begin to travel between two boys who have never met, an unexpected friendship is born-one powerful enough to cross oceans, heal loneliness, and redefine the meaning of family itself.

Heartwarming, funny, moving, and unforgettable, Dear Hamid is a timeless tale about courage, compassion, resilience, and the invisible bonds that connect human hearts across the world.

For readers who loved Wonder and timeless modern fables filled with hope and humanity.

Because sometimes the people who change our lives forever are the ones we never expected to find.

And sometimes the family we need most is the family we choose.
