Veterans Day Children's Books

Get your Veteran’s Day books ready. These are some beautiful books. Prepare yourself to get teary. Hopefully, these will let the kids understand what the day is all about. Not just a day off school. ❤️ . This first one is my favorite and relatively new - Twenty One Steps. It’s beautiful. It speaks of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, what it is, and the dedication of those who guard it. 📕Twenty-One Steps ✍️Jeff Gottesfeld @jeffgottesfeldwriter 🎨Matt Tavares @tavaresbooks 🖨@candlewickpress . Coming Home is an easier read with few words but so much impact. A kid waits for his parent soldier to come home. So sweet. 📕Coming Home ✍️🎨Greg Ruth @gregthings 🖨Macmillan Publishing @macmillanreads . The Wall is a classic about visiting the Vietnam Wall and finding grandfather’s name among the thousands. It’s beautiful. 📕The Wall ✍️Eve Bunting 🎨Ronald Himler 🖨Harper Collins @harpercollinsch . Every Memorial Day, a million motorcyclists gather for the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom to remember veterans. Follow along as a kid goes on his first trip and learns what it’s about. 📕Rolling Thunder ✍️Kate Messner @katemessner 🎨Greg Ruth @gregthings 🖨Scholastic Press @kidspress
