Hero Over Here was
written by Kathleen V. Kudlinski and was illustrated by Bert Dodson. It was
published in 1990. It is a story of World War I.Theodore’s father and brother are off fighting in the First World War and have left Theo to be the man of the house. He is proud of the responsibility – it’s his chance to be a hero. But when his mother and his sister become victims of the deadly flu virus of 1918, Theodore has to take care of them alone – and learns what it truly means to be a hero.
War adds many hardships to life, both for the warriors, those who love them, and those who are near them. I had the privelidge of visiting the World War I museum in Kansas City. It brought home to me the need for heroes in difficult times
