Memorial Day: A Time for Family and Remembrance

Memorial Day is a time for family and remembrance. If you are looking for a children's picture book about remembering those who died in war, I recommend The Wall by Eve Bunting, with illustrations by Richard Himler. This poignant children's picture book is about a visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, by a father and his young son. Other Memorial Day resources from About.com Guides include:
