Sock Wars is a fun story about a girl and her brother.
The girl washes clothes. Then she folds the clothes.
Her brother takes the socks.  He throws the socks at her.
The pictures in the book help her remember Jonah  in a happy way.
The pictures look like Hannah and Jonah.
“The story is true,”  says Hannah.
She also says, “Reading is really important.”
