We've all heard the term "e;military brat"e; before. It pertains to those children who grew up in military families. "e;Brats"e; wear the name like a badge of honor, often because of the moves, stressors and cultural experiences that make them more resilient than their civilian counterparts. When Miss Laura started writing music and books for military story time kids (while her husband served as a Naval Oral Surgeon on NAVSTA Great Lakes), she asked the parents what they thought about their kids being called 'Brats'. Her audience was tots to kindergarten age, and the parents agreed that 'Brat' was a term that didn't really relate at those ages. So 'Military Child' came to life in Laura's music, stories, and books. 'Yes, I Am a Military Child' is not an attempt to draw away from being a "e;Brat"e;, it's simply a 'warm-up' to the badge of honor of the title that connotes affection and respect. This book is a sing-along to two of the songs on Miss Laura's special music CD 'Miss Laura & the Military Brats' available on YouTube, Amazon, etc. Scan below to listen.
