Why read it?
1 author picked Momma's Boots as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While most deployed service members are male, women serve and are deployed, too. I honor their contribution by including this touching book. When Momma puts on her military boots, little Bean grapples with questions of why and where and how long. Momma describes her work with references to other kinds of work that Bean understands. Itās a sweet conversation that provides a broader context for military work and assurance that Momma will return.
From Jerilyn's list on military families dealing with deployment.
