These Little Patriot Books(tm) provide a hopeful message with creative tools for deployed military members & their families. Children may not label their thoughts and feelings the same way adults do, but their whimsical attitude can be a source of inspiration in such difficult times. Military children whose parents go to war zones now have a new resource in which they become an integral part of the story and active participants in their parent's deployment.
