Coloring My Military Life-Book 1 - Paperback

by Christina Rodriguez (Illustrator)

Military life is a colorful adventure, filled with challenges, blessings, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. Frequent moves, deployments, and close friendships over the miles are just a few common shades. Each person in a military family lives a unique life. Elva Resa's Coloring My Military Life books let you choose your palette to express your own military life experience.

Each book contains a variety of illustrated military life situations and emotions appropriate for all ages. One-sided pages offer options to use a variety of coloring materials, take pages out of the book to frame or share, or draw your own pictures or doodles on the blank side.

Coloring My Military Life-Book 1 features level one coloring pages with simple scenes especially interesting to younger children. An adorable puppy makes snow angels, marches in a patriotic parade, and dreams of being a superhero dog.

Illustrator Christina Rodriguez says, "This book is an ode to the family dog-the loyal and loving companion animal who helps everyone endure the frequent geographic and emotional transitions of military life."
