America's White Table

I love this.

I love this book about remembering our POW’s who did not come home from wars. As a member of the American Legion Auxilliary it is important young children understand what occurs when one is lost or missing. Beautifully written and illustrated. Presented a copy to our local library

This book is a must have for all American Families

This book is a must have for anytime, but especially Veteran’s Day. The story-within-a-story, flashback scenes, and explanation of WHY each element is placed on the soldier’s table is so beautiful. The first time I read it, I had so many emotions running through my mind. Any teacher 3rd-6th grade who needs a fantastic mentor text…look into this book for sure.

I took the concept of the symbols and created part of a Memorial Day church service, using one our families to put the items on the table as I read what each one symbolized.

Every American should read this book! Everyone should understand the sacrifices our military, especially our POW’s make for our country. In the book it explains why we have the small white table set alone in military homes, VFW’s and bases around the world. It continues to explain what each item represents. Yes this is a young adult book, maybe 4th grade level. Yet I still believe so many Americans don’t know and need to know!

Every American should read this and share the observance. I plan to set a table of remembrance for my grandchildren to honor those who served.

I ordered this book for a teacher who still reads to her 4th grade class. Since the school cancelled its Veteran's Day program, she wanted the kids to at least be aware of the importance of recognizing our veterans and the significance of the day. I was unaware of this tradition and glad I was able to least bring a little bit of acknowledgment to why the day is celebrated. Hopefully, the kids will now know why too!
