*"To help build patriotism Heather launched a series of children’s books about Claire, a rambunctious 8-year-old girl who learns about patriotism and volunteerism in everyday life." CBN.com *"In Pepper’s Purple Heart," a car hits Claire’s dog while she and her best friend, Robbie, are pretending to rescue him in a backyard military operation. Her neighbor, Mr. Jones, takes care of "Sergeant Pepper" and gives the dog the Purple Heart he received as a Marine in Vietnam to wear when they all march in the Veterans Day parade. Mr. Jones, a four star general, teaches Claire about opportunities for women in the military." Ellen R. Stapleton- Associated Press. *"PEPPER’S PURPLE HEART, is lively and makes a fun and informative read for the entire family. We applaud Heather and look forward to reading more of Claire’s Adventures in the future...." – Kevin Richardson, Backstreet Boys. "Wow! Stupendous attempt at merging educational and mainstream! I’ve been looking for a children’s book to explain Veterans Day to my son!" Charles Mahoney, Professor/University of Connecticut.

From the Author:

"When I was touring as Miss America, I had the opportunity to speak with many educators as I appeared at countless schools. I was always asked how to educate about veterans issues. I couldn't find that much in terms of children's books. After I became a mom, I decided to do something about it. This is really a labor of love, and I hope parents agree with me that it's never too early to teach children, patriotism and values, from courage, to volunteering! Even though the story lines are entertaining, I tried not to forget the educational and sprinkled them with historical facts." Heather French Henry.
