Clifton Park - Halfmoon Public Library
This gentle picture book, illustrated with beautiful soft pastel drawings, has been added to our collection of picture books in the Parent/Child area which deals with difficult subjects. This entry, written in free verse, focuses on two children, each of whom has a parent serving in the armed forces. These children express their hopes and fears while their parents are away from home, and perhaps can help real-life children who are facing the same situations in today’s world
