"My Daddy is a Hero focuses more on nurturing qualities and is especially effective when the dads use those same skills to connect with their children at home. My Mommy is a Hero drives home themes of strength and leadership and deals more with being on the front lines and distance and danger. Not overtly patriotic, the first-person narratives keep the books grounded in things that matter to children - feeling safe and loved, even when a parent is off helping others." -- School Library Journal

"...two delightful books that celebrate parents who are in the military. ...both books highlight the leadership and bravery of both women and men in uniform. A comforting resource for military families coping with deployment and a worthwhile addition to any library." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Otter's rhyming text shares with readers how important our military men and women are to the safety of our country. Tolson's simple illustrations bring the verses to life with her bold use of color. Highly recommended for any school or library, especially for the children of military personnel." -- The Pirate Tree
