Honest, direct, helpful, therapeutic, and above all a priceless aid to military children. This book belongs with each and every parent, health provider, therapist, or teacher seeking ways to support children in coping with a loved one wounded in service.

Bobby Henline
As a wounded solider with physical burns, amputations, scars, and invisible wounds, I'm so excited that this book exists for military families. Often, when trying to get through difficult times, we don't know where to start, but once we get started, we see that we're making progress. Ellen Sabin's The Healing Heroes Book helps military family members find a starting place! It kick-starts the conversations that begin the healing process. It's hard as a wounded service member to admit we need help and explain to our children why we act different because of our invisible wounds. To me, my family members are the heroes that stood by my side to get me stronger. Thank you, Ellen, for giving us this well-needed book to support military families.

Ellen Sabin's wonderful book teaches all of us about the impact of the wounds of war, both visible and invisible. It is a special gift to the children of the wounded and their families, who provide the healing spirit for so many remarkable young men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country.
