This is such a beautiful and powerfully written story and so unsettling. I cried at the end of this very hard. It was so sad and even more awful that things like this story has happened before. The confused little boy who made a friend and died with his friend never fully understanding what is happening in his world. He just wanted to be an explorer and be with Shmuel but that will never happen. 💙😭
