SPANKY: A Soldier's Son

April honors Military Children. If a family member or friend happens to be a military child between the age of 7- and 13-years old, navigating life with a deployed parent, I invite you to consider a copy of SPANKY: A Soldier's Son. As I am a new member and have requested a review, it is only appropriate that I refrain from showing any previous reviews. However, I must show one. 

I am including the following comments from Melissa Seligman of HER WAR HER VOICE as I am more concerned about how these words might encourage you to help a military child. Melissa, who read the book with her daughter, said, "Part of what has been so great about this book is that we are reading it and working through it together as a team. She is only 8, and still struggling a lot of times to understand how she is feeling. Or if those feelings are allowed. There hasn't been anything really out there for military kids that revolves around the age where they can communicate --just maybe not in the manner we want them to. They are somewhat self- sufficient. Yet, still need so much guidance. Often though, they are more interested in a fictional character and what he would do rather than a mom or dad's opinion.  Spanky gives the kids a  safe way to identify with him, and he feels real."

SPANKY's story is available in paperback and e-book on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If you would like to donate a copy to a military child, please contact me through www.myclimbingtree.com.
