Good Night Captain Mama! Pre-Order Book Tour and twitter party!
I want to share information on this new children's book written by
my friend Graciela Tiscareño-Sato, and Illustrated by Linda Lens. If you
are military mama, this would be a great book to have and share with
your children.Pre-Order Book tour and Twitter party takes place next
week! See below for details.
Good Night Captain Mama is a bilingual picture book created for children between the ages of three and eight.
One evening, as a young child passes by his mother's bedroom, he sees Mamá in her olive-green Air Force-issued flight suit. The child is curious about the colorful patches on the uniform and asks questions as he pulls each one off. His mother's answers teach him, and young children everywhere, why women serve in uniform.

Leaning In
I wanted to share with you all that my Lean In story was published on Sheryl Sandbergs community site. I'm excited that it was published and happy to bring awareness about being a military esposa. It's not easy and every day is a struggle. With God's help and with the love and support of family we overcome. Thank you so much to those of you that have supported the BeBrave!Mujer! website and Facebook page, as well as here on the Military Esposa blog.
Con mucho amor,
Maria
