Who killed Ethan Chapin? What is the book ‘The Boy who wore Blue’ all about? Learn all there is to know.

Ethan Chapin, 20, was one of four students who was stabbed to death at the University of Idaho last November in a crime that horrified the nation. Since then, his mom Stacy, dad Jim, and siblings Maizie and Hunter have been piecing their lives back together.

Stacy Chapin recently wrote a children’s book, “The Boy Who Wore Blue,” about Ethan. She shares exclusively with TODAY.com how the family is keeping Ethan’s memory alive while finding a path forward. “It’s a different dynamic in our home without Ethan,” she says, “but we work every day on it.” Bryan Kohberger has been identified as the killer.

What did Stacy Chapin have to say about her book?

Stacy called her children’s book “The Boy Who Wore Blue” “the best I can do for [Ethan].”

She said the writing process was “like a country artist who goes through a break up and writes their greatest hit. It literally just came to me in the middle of the night.” While the book’s central character is unnamed, he mirrors her son’s life: He was born in October as a triplet, loved playing sports and wearing the color blue, and worked at a tulip farm as a young adult. “Life is so short, so give it your best,” the book reads.

Ethan Chapin was the first to be born among his triplet siblings — brother, Hunter, and sister, Maizie, who are students at the University of Idaho. He had been dating Kernodle, a junior at the school majoring in marketing, since the spring of last year, friends said. In an Oct. 29 Instagram post, Kernodle wished him a happy birthday and said life was “so much better with you in it.”

When asked on where Stacy and her family get their strength after such a life-shattering event, she said: “It has its moments of course, but we get up every morning and we just decided that the best thing we can do is put our best foot forward, mostly for Maizie and Hunter.” “They didn’t deserve this. They deserve still the best life that we can give them. And that is the strength that drives us,” she added.
