(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bryan Langdo. In this companion to Hero Dad, several children describe their military moms as superheroes, praising their work piloting helicopters, driving trucks, leading battalions, etc. "My mom doesn't leap over tall buildings--she builds them." The message is both overt and a little muddled, but heartfelt. Watercolor illustrations featuring a multicultural cast capture the women soldiers' dedication and contributions.
