Bookroo's summary

Russell enjoys playing with his little sister Elisa, but her attachment to her doll, Airmail, seems silly to him. When Elisa accidentally leaves Airmail at the library, Russell faces a challenge: how to cheer up his distraught sister. Can he come up with the perfect plan to make things right and strengthen their sibling bond?

From the publisher

Russell and Elisa are growing up. Now that Elisa is bigger, she and Russell have more fun together. The only problem is Elisa’s doll, Airmail. Elisa takes Airmail “everywhere, “ and Russell thinks that’s silly. But one day Elisa leaves Airmail in the library by mistake. And it’s Russell who thinks of just the right thing to make his little sister feel better.
