My Hero: Military Kids Write About

Their Moms and Dads

edited by Allen Appel and Mike Rothmiller

Adults will both laugh and cry while reading the more than 100 short paragraphs written by kids whose parents are serving in the military. There is a preface written by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf as well as comments from three former presidents Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. While the contributors range in age from 6 to 13, this is really a book for adults, who will appreciate these children's deep feelings.
