About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to explain the weight and pride of Memorial Day to a young child without relying on scary imagery or complex political history. It is a perfect choice for families looking to honor a grandparent's service or for children who feel a sense of awe toward the sight and sound of motorcycles and community gatherings. Through the eyes of a young boy, we experience the roar of engines and the quiet reverence of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The story follows a boy and his grandfather as they join the thousands of riders in the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom. While the text is a rhythmic, sensory delight focused on the journey, the emotional core touches on collective memory, the bond between generations, and the importance of saying thank you. It offers a gentle bridge to discuss why we remember those who served, making it an essential tool for military families and patriotic holidays.
