(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. For Presidents' Day, Caleb's teacher asks the class to "make something showing patriotism." Caleb is stumped until he realizes that his soldier dad, who is serving overseas, "is patriotism." Caleb's epiphany is kind of adult, but many communities will welcome this opportunity to discuss the concerns of children with parents in the military. The illustrations convey Caleb's pride.
