Books to help kids understand War
With the events happening in the world, I think its really important to have a book or two to turn to in case kids ask about war.  Here are some suggestions which were given to me:
Daddy Will You Miss Me? By Wendy McCormick and Jennifer Eachus (Baby-preschool)

Daddy, You're my Hero By Michelle Fergusen-Cohen (ages 4-8)

My Daddy is a Guardsmen and My Daddy is a Soldier by Kirk Hilbrecht and Sharron Hilbrecht (ages 4-8)

I live at a Military Post by S. Ward and Stasia Ward Kehoe (ages 9-12)

War: What Kids Should Know by Carol Marsh (ages 9-12)

Live Aware, Not in Fear: The 411 after 911, A book for Teens by Donna Wells and Bruce Morris (Young Adult)
I'm also looking for books that have the mother as the soldier. Know of any of those??  Post them in the Forum!!
