"Warm, educational, and empowering, Rosie's Day on a Warship is a fantastic read for military families and for any child curious about ships, helicopters, cookies (!!) and the heroes who serve!"

"This is a great book for girls and boys the history and importance of women in the armed services. As an adult I even learned something! The illustrations are warm and inviting, and enjoyable for early readers."

"This book is so good, easy to read and understand. I love the exploration of the ship and the illustrations are incredible! I love all of the examples of women in history serving in our military. It's such an inspiring book and look so forward to sharing it with friends and their kids!"

"As a mom of a daughter, I'm always drawn to stories that combine real history with empowerment. This one does exactly that. It shows girls (and boys!) that women belong in every space - including aboard warships - and that leadership, service, and bravery aren't defined by gender. A wonderful read for military families and for any child who loves learning about history, ships, or strong women who serve."

"We picked up Rosie's Day on a Warship by Kristi Bickel for my 8-year-old, and it was an instant hit. From start to finish, it's engaging, positive, and full of heart.

What really stood out to us was the relationship between Rosie and her mom. The story does a beautiful job highlighting their bond while also giving an honest and inspiring look at women serving in the military. It's not something you see often in children's books, and it sparked some great conversations with my child afterward.

The tone is upbeat and accessible, and the message is incredibly empowering-especially for young readers who benefit from seeing strong, capable female role models in real-world settings. Overall, this is a fantastic book for elementary-aged kids. We'd highly recommend it to other parents looking for something meaningful, engaging, and uplifting."
