The first time I read this book I almost cried! It is a beautifully written and illustrated book that explains the little known tradition of the POW/MIA table in words that a child can understand. I bought one for my son, and will now purchase another for my God Children.

This is an excellent book to share with children the holidays of Veterans' Day and/or Memorial Day. It illustrates the personal and family involvement very well. An excellent book for teachers!

Excellent book for children AND adults, explaining a touching memorial to our military who have made so many sacrifices for our freedom.

This book is one of a kind. Beautiful pictures and an amazing story. Not many books out there that support and honor our troops for Veterans Day...this one is amazing.

Well illustrated, well written, to the point, meaningful, heartfelt, and helpful regarding one way Americans can remember their Prisoners of War and Missing in Action on Memorial Day and/or Veterans Day (Note: Memorial Day [last Monday in May each year] is for remembering those who have died in military service while fighting for America's freedom; Veterans Day [weekday closest to November 11 each year] is for saying thank you to those who were in military service and fought for that same freedom and are currently living. Prisoners of War or those Missing in Action can be persons in military service who have died or are still living.).America's White Table

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book. I used it in a third grade classroom on Veterans Day. The memory my children walked away with and the pride for their country was priceless. One child asked to borrow the materials I used to display a table. He wanted to set a place for his father at dinner that night. He took a picture and shared it with me before mailing it. I highly recommend this book for a home collection as well as an educational setting.

I absolutely loved this book. I had originally heard about it at a conference for history teachers. I had been looking for a kid to teenage friendly book that helped students understand the importance of our military. I read this book to my 6,7,and 8th grade classes, and we were all moved by the story. We set up a table honoring our veterans at our school's Veterans' Day Assembly. I highly recommend this book for teachers or parents who want to educate their kids on a wonderful way to honor and remember our veterans.

This is a great way to teach children about the importance of our veterans and the reverence they deserve. I use this in my first grade classroom. We actually set up a white table and ate lunch in the room on Veteran's Day. It was a great experience and I am very happy to own this book to use year after year.

This book gives a wonderful description of a soldiers scarifice and what we can do to remember it. It is emotional in a good way and teaches the younger generation about freedom and it's cost.

This book is beautiful and very moving. On Veterans Day at our elementary school, one of our teachers reads "America's White Table", showing the illustrations on a large screen, while another teacher lays the items on the table which is spotlighted. It is such a blessing to be able to honor our veterans in this way.
