The Hero in My Pocket gives children a voice in their grief. Suitable for 6-12 yr-olds, this unique book helps children honor their own thoughts, feelings, and memories while honoring the loss of a military service member: Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman, Coast Guardsman, or Merchant Marine. The book is not limited to widow or widower parent-loss; a child's grief for a fallen hero may be a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt/uncle, cousin, step-relation or other relative, friend, teacher, et al. Design includes interactive HERO PAGES for the child to draw or write; family-centered military themes; and warm, patriotic artwork by children. Book can be used in individual or group settings.

From the Publisher:

Patriotic and warm artwork by children representing every branch of service appeals to children and adults alike.

Hero features a full-color lay-out in a cozy 8"x10" size. Printed using eco-friendly soy-based inks and acid-free paper.

Hero is a thoughtful gift for a family or a meaningful donation to a military post library, school, family service organization, or worship leader.

With an emphasis on acknowledging the child-griever and honoring and remembering their loved one, Hero has a timeless quality. Use of the book is applicable any time after the child has experienced loss.

For those who did not get to meet or know the "Special Hero," such as a newborn or toddler, or those too young to remember, consider having a family member makes notes in the book for when the child is older.

Hero is suitable for ages 6-12 years.

From the Author:

A portion of book sale proceeds are donated to selected organizations that assist military families.
