Daddy's Boots by Tahna Desmond Fox
This award-winning deployment book for kids is a favorite of all major military branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves in military books and best deployment books for children. The illustrator has masterfully drawn the lovable and relatable characters to be racially non-specific; Bean is non-gender specific, as well. It's Boot's task to take Daddy where he's needed, but it's Daddy's job to explain why. In only 37 pages, the author provides a valuable tool for caregivers to explain to service members' children why their daddy leaves, what he does, and how he helps others while he's away. As it would be impossible to explain every job, rank, and branch specific name for every object and service member, the author succeeds in covering the essentials in a generic and loving way. Daddy is a soldier. Boots are preparing to take him away. If Bean can hide Boots, will Daddy be able to stay? Daddy explains the many jobs he's called to do, and how his work isn't that much different than the work other daddies do. Being deployed is a fact of life for soldiers of all military branches. Humanitarian efforts, operations other than war (OW), peaceful or wartime missions - a soldier's duty is to be there. Sometimes it means leaving little ones behind wondering why. Daddy's Boots is a loving description of a few quiet moments between a father and his child, as Daddy prepares to deploy for his job with the military. This charming picture book written by the award-winning author, Sandra Miller Linhart, and illustrated by the accomplished artist, Tahna Desmond Fox opens up a dialogue between the military child and his or her dad, and makes military deployments a more positive event. Check out her complementary award-winning picture book, 'But.What If?' which deals with the separation anxiety and reunion and other anxieties in kids brought on by military deployments. These award-winning books are best bought together. www.lionheartgrouppublishing.com
Sandra Miller Linhart was born and raised in a somewhat isolated, but beautiful, mountainous town in Wyoming. There she cultivated her love of the written word, as the nearest decent record store was a good two-hour drive away and the one local radio station played only country and classical music at that time. Were it not for that, Ms. Linhart might today be a rock star, or, at the very least have better taste in music. As it turned out, Lander provided a well-stocked and constantly updated library. Thus, the young Ms. Linhart often found herself taking long journeys into the wonderful worlds created by authors like Ursula K. LeGuin, Judy Blume, Madeleine L'Engle, Stephen King and, of course, Erma Bombeck in the dusty basement which contained the children's section of the Fremont County Public Library. Sandra then traveled the country as a military wife and mother of five army brats; soaking in our country's diverse and obscure cultural differences-which makes wonderful fodder for her stories. She currently lives in the mountains of Colorado but spends a majority of her time at the beach. Sandra writes in hopes of sharing her love of reading and writing with everyone. She utilizes her sociology degree and personal experience in writing children's books for caregivers, parents, and children to better connect and communicate, with the goal of healing anxieties and fears. She loves to write for children of all ages, and plans to do so until her last page is turned. Life (and how you live it) is her inspiration. Visit her website: www.sandstarbooks.com
