I am pleased to close 2011 with an award-winning book that will touch you deeply –
11 Ways to Ruin a Photograph
by Darcy Pattison; Illustrated by Michael Jeter
Darcy Pattison brings an enduring story to the pages of her latest picture book work of fiction, 11 Ways to Ruin a Photograph. This picture book conveys a heart-warming reality infused within a year of perseverance and coping, a year of waiting in the life of a military child. We know our servicemen and women go to foreign lands spending months and possibly years away from home. We view television groups of faces as they deploy and see families celebrating their safe return. But there are other stories, stories hidden in the day-to-day existence of military family life.
Darcy Pattison captures simple everyday military life events and permeates the new understanding for those of us who are more detached. You will cry, you will smile, and you will laugh. This story will move your heart to know and consider one more reason military children face and the uncertain responses filtering throughout family separation.
