HONORING VETERANS CHILDREN'S BOOK

. A Patriotic Picture Book for Children Ages 4-8, Hardcover, 32 Pages   Honoring Veterans: Serving Those Who Serve is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps children understand the meaning of Veterans Day and the importance of honoring those who protect our freedom. Through Sam and Miguel’s adventure, young readers learn compassion, gratitude, and meaningful ways to support our nation’s heroes.  From the author, Karen Bowen:  ★ This is realistic fiction story, ideally suited for children ages 4 - 8. By blending historical facts with meaningful, hands-on experiences of Sam and Miguel, I show children that they can play an active role in honoring veterans through simple acts of service and volunteering. ★ One detail that makes this book especially distinctive is the illustration of the Signing of the Armistice. While the same historical photo appears in many Veterans Day resources, I chose to have my illustrator create an original reproduction. This gives young readers the chance to experience history through art rather than a stock image, making the moment feel both powerful and fresh. ★ This realistic fiction picture book is for children, their families, and teachers. I hope it will inspire all Americans to give honor to our military members: to show respect for the sacrifices and even to assist them. About the Author As the proud mother of a US Marine Corps Reservist, Karen Bowen brings her deep personal connections and understanding of military life to her writing.  After the success of her previous patriotic childrens book, The Worn-Out Flag Karen was inspired to write the sequel, Honoring Veterans - Serving Those Who Serve. This book weaves history, patriotism, and personal action into a story that inspires children and families to both understand Veterans Day and take part in honoring those who serve.  Her experiences as a retired elementary teacher and her love for working with children have enriched her storytelling, making her books poignant, educational, and memorable experience for young readers and their families.
