Good Night Captain Mama / Buenas Noches Capitán Mamá
by Graciela Tiscareno-Sato, illustrated by Linda Lens
On his way to his bedroom, Marco notices his mommy in an olive-green military flight suit. His curiosity about the colorful patches on her uniform evolves into a sweet, reassuring bedtime conversation between a military mother and her child about why she serves and what she does in the unusual KC-135R aerial refueling airplane. Marco drifts off to sleep with thoughts of his mommy in the airplane and the special surprise she gave him stuck to his fleece pajamas.
Written by a Latina military officer and former aviator, this bilingual children's book, in English and Spanish, celebrates why mommies wear military uniforms.
