Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A boy and his father visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. "Before this powerful book is half finished, readers will be deeply moved. Bunting's understated prose captures the meaning of the memorial to the American people . . . Himler's gauzy watercolors are a perfect accompaniment."--"School Library Journal," starred review. Reading Rainbow Main Feature. Full color.

Review:

"A sensitive and moving picture book, and a great discussion book as well."

Synopsis:

A young boy and his father visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Synopsis:

"The poignant journey of a boy and his father to locate the boy's grandfather's name on the Vietnam War Memorial. Totally within a young child's intellectual and emotional ken, this is a powerful yet gentle tribute to those who have lost their lives in war, and to their families."—School Library Journal, Best Books of the Year
