Don't Forget, God Bless Our Troops
What's This Book About
Inspired by her own granddaughter Natalie, Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, tells a story through a child’s eyes of what family life is like when a parent is at war across the world. When her father leaves for a year of being at war, Natalie knows that she will miss him. Natalie is proud of her father, but there is nothing to stop her from wishing he was home. Some things do help her feel better. Natalie works with her Nana to send her dad and the other service men and women cookies and treats they have made. Natalie, her mom, and her brother can see and talk to Dad over the computer, and the kindness of friends at school and at church help her feel supported and loved. But there is nothing like the day when her Dad comes home at last.
What Kind of Book is Don't Forget, God Bless Our Troops
Reviews
A touching reminder about the bravery, sacrifice, and service from our troops and their families, told from the perspective of a young girl whose father is in the military and is brave while he's away. The illustrations aren't my favorite, but the story is an important one.
