Including—and sometimes especially—the kids. This book captures children’s worries, fears, trials, and triumphs while waiting for their parents to return from service. Although the narrative tells one universal tale, the photographs depict multiple perspectives so that every reader has someone to whom they can relate. In the end, each child finds the strength and patience to endure the wait, showing admirable bravery and inspiring us all. An afterword offers resources for helping kids deal with transition, deployment, and separation.

Breathtaking photographs of Yellowstone serve as the backdrop for the adventures of twins Elana and Christopher, who are spending the summer with their Aunt Rosa, a park ranger. When Rosa gets an emergency call, Christopher wanders off. Buddy Bison, the plush toy clipped to Elana’s backpack, then comes to life to help her. This tale is sprinkled with helpful tidbits and weird-but-true facts. An afterword offers a history of Yellowstone and ways kids can get involved in parks preservation.

She holds an Ed.D. and Ed.M. from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, a M.Ed from University of Delaware, and a B.A. from Swarthmore College.
