For many military kids, Veterans Day is personal. It’s a chance to honor a parent, grandparent, or someone else they love who served. At United Through Reading, we’ve gathered books that help children learn about military service and hear stories that may remind them of their own families.

Whether you’re reading together at home or sharing a story in the classroom, these books can spark conversations about the people we honor on Veterans Day.
