Reviews
""...two delightful books that celebrate parents who are in the military. ...both books highlight the leadership and bravery of both women and men in uniform. A comforting resource for military families coping with deployment and a worthwhile addition to any library."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""My Daddy is a Hero focuses more on nurturing qualities and is especially effective when the dads use those same skills to connect with their children at home. My Mommy is a Hero drives home themes of strength and leadership and deals more with being on the front lines and distance and danger. Not overtly patriotic, the first-person narratives keep the books grounded in things that matter to children - feeling safe and loved, even when a parent is off helping others."" -- School Library Journal ""In a heartening picture book, Tolson honors mothers in the armed forces. The rhymed lines have a smooth, easy cadence: 'My mommy is a hero, / her strength amazes me./ She dives into the ocean, / to rescue those at sea.' Tolson's friendly images show the figures in daring circumstances (jumping from planes), or serving communities (a medic listens to a child's chest with a stethoscope). Back home, their children are seen writing letters and thinking of their loved ones... Tolson suggests that sharing in an enlisted parent's pride can make them feel a little closer when they are far away."" -- Publishers Weekly
