Momma's Boots
This award-winning deployment book for kids is a favorite of all major military branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves in military books and best deployment books for children.The illustrator has masterfully drawn the lovable and relatable characters to be racially non-specific; Bean is non-gender specific, as well. It's Boot's task to take Mommy where she's needed, but it's Momma's job to explain why.When Momma puts on her boots, Bean knows it's time to say good-bye, and maybe for a long time. What does Momma do when she goes? Do the other mommies wear boots which take them away, too? Can Bean understand the many things Momma's called to do, why her boots sometimes take her far away, and how a soldier's work is not much different than some other mommies' jobs?Being deployed is a fact of life for soldiers of all military branches. Humanitarian efforts, operations other than war (OOW), peaceful or wartime missions - a soldier's duty is to be there. Sometimes it means leaving little ones behind wondering why.Momma's Boots is a loving description of a few quiet moments between a mother and her child, as Momma prepares to deploy for her job with the military.This charming picture book written by the award-winning author, Sandra Miller Linhart, and illustrated by the accomplished artist, Tahna Desmond Fox opens up a dialogue between the military child and his or her mom, and makes military deployments a much more positive event.Check out her complementary award-winning book, 'Grandpa, What If?' which deals with the separation anxiety and reunion and other anxieties in kids brought on by military deployments, best when purchased together.www.lionheartgrouppublishing.com
