From the Author

"When I was touring as Miss America, I had the opportunity to speak with many educators as I appeared at countless schools. I was always asked how to educate about veterans issues. I couldn't find that much in terms of children's books. After I became a mom, I decided to do something about it. This is really a labor of love, and I hope parents agree with me that it's never too early to teach children, patriotism and values, from courage, to volunteering! Even though the story lines are entertaining, I tried not to forget the educational and sprinkled them with historical facts." Heather French Henry.

What Freedom Means to Me: A Flag Day Story

When teaching young children about Veterans and why it is so important to honor each and everyone of them this book is a great starting point. It is a terrific way to prepare students for upcoming Veteran's Day Clebrations or any of the patriotic holidays.

This review is from: What Freedom Means to Me: A Flag Day Story (Hardcover)

The illustrations and story are well done. This story gives the children a small idea of what Veteran's Day is all about. Young children do not receive Pepper being hit by a car very well. I found that it lessoned the value of the man's purple heart by giving it to a dog. It would have been better if it went to a hurt child.
