My Hero Doesn’t Wear a Cape captures the pride and admiration a young son and daughter feel for their hero—their dad, the soldier. This book realistically depicts, through the eyes of a young boy and girl, what it is like to have a parent serving in the military. They witness strangers who come up and shake their dad’s hand, they view their dad marching in parades, they watch with the world as their father leaves for faraway places to help others in need, and they witness the strength of their mother. When their dad is home, the children describe the softer, gentler, human side of the real-life hero only their family knows. My Hero Doesn’t Wear a Cape truly touches on the unique experiences military families share. It is honest in its portrayal of how the families of military men and women serve their country. Author royalties will be donated to charitable organizations that support US military veterans and their families.
