“…Sensitively illustrated…a special empowering tool to help military families…” — Midwest Book Review

“…stunningly beautiful and sensitively written. Very touching and helpful for children to realize they are not alone in their feelings.” – Joyce Wood

“This is an excellent book for military children. It hits on all kinds of aspects and situations a military family might find themselves in. The illustrations are great and go right along with every story. These stories touched my heart, even as an adult and a former military brat and military wife.” — Hanging Off the Wire
