The Soldier and the Squirrel introduces children to the Purple Heart
through a loving story of a friendship between a newly wounded soldier
and Rocky the squirrel with his backyard friends. This story began as a
blog during my first year in bed after my incident. With much
encouragement, it is now a book and has been placed in the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum. Please watch the video
on the About page to learn for the Soldier & Rocky are changing children's
lives.

So Beautiful!! I love it, you are amazing Micaela!
How very poignant! I feel about as big as those precious girls when I read this blog and looked at the touching photos...we are all as "little children" ...and yes. We can ALL "let it begin with me."
