Finally Home
by Cortney Cino
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
slow-paced
This book is about two children who are going to see their dad. Their father is in the military. It’s been days, weeks, months, maybe years. This is about the excitement of the time to run out and greet your relative you haven’t seen in a while. I remember these times. We may not have done it in a hanger on the base, almost always an airport, but not always. But this rings completely true. The Navy brat me knows it. The illustrations are unusual. They are an old-fashioned style that might not speak to modern kids. I think the artist needs more practice. The arms, especially on women, are funny, and a lot of time so is the coloring. Overall, the book is fine and I’m happy that something like this exists. But at the same time this was made for niche audience.
