About Home Is Where Books
These books are powerful literary tools that say, “You are special to me!” to the children of military families. The books contain information specially intended for children about the places to see and things to do in and around their new bases.
My Writing Roots
My personal experiences as a military child are what inspired me to write this book. When my father was in the military, he would receive his orders to a new post every 3 or 4 years, and the Army would send our family a relocation packet. The packet would contain a wealth of information for my parents, but nothing specifically for my brother and me. I loved reading and looking at books as a child, and I can remember wishing that there was a book in those relocation packets for me.
