[OPLINLIST] Military Father away from home

[Carolyn Rector]

Everyone,


We had an author from Wright Patterson Air Force visit our library with a
book she had written about being deployed to Iraq
Both author and illustrator will sign copies of their new children's book
titled "An Ocean Between Us". This book is about a young girl who goes to
live with her grandparents when her mother is deployed to Iraq. Rhonda
Bishop is employed at the WPAFB preschool and Cass Barth is a retired
elementary school teacher. No registration.
The book information from the catalog
Publisher: Central Milton Keyes AuthorHouse UK c2008
ISBN 1438904487
9781438904481
LCCN 2008906868

Hope this helps. Probably should be in more libraries.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Rector
