About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when a toddler begins asking what a military parent does all day, or when they are trying to normalize the presence of uniforms and service in a child's life. This board book introduces the various branches of the armed forces by reframing service members as real-life superheroes. By focusing on the roles and the cool equipment they use, the book shifts the narrative from scary concepts like conflict to positive themes of bravery, protection, and community service. It is perfectly suited for children aged 0 to 4, providing a gentle bridge between a child's imagination and the reality of a military family's lifestyle. Parents will appreciate how it builds vocabulary around vehicles and jobs while instilling a sense of pride and security.
