About the Book
Christopher Echevarria was not born when his uncle Christopher died on September 11, 2001. He was our first grandson and was named after him. He feels like he knew his uncle as the family often speaks about him. Christopher loved to draw as a young boy. His family has many pictures of his drawings. It is still his hobby. He wanted to illustrate My Son Christopher because he wanted to honor his uncle.
