Brave Like Me

Brave Like Me
by Barbara Kerley (Author)

Booktalk: When someone is serving our country, far from home, everyone in their family has to be brave. Including — and sometimes especially — the kids. The words and photos of many active duty families capture the children’s worries, fears, trials, and triumphs while waiting for their parents to return from service.

Snippet: I miss Dad everyday.
But I know he’s doing his job, the best he can.
And I’m doing my job the best I can, too–
going to school, doing my homework,
and helping around the house, so that he will be
as proud of me as I am of him.
