How do you want to be remembered? Cynthia and Tatiana are best friends growing up on a lively military base. Although their personalities are different, they share a love for helping others and bringing their community together. When the girls organize a talent show for the children on the base, they hope everyone will have the confidence to share what makes them special. But Max, the school bully, and her friends have other plans. Determined to embarrass the performers and ruin the event, they try to replace excitement with fear and encouragement with doubt. With guidance from Sergeant Miller and support from their friends, Cynthia and Tatiana discover that true character is revealed through actions. Together, they learn to stand up for others, respond to meanness with kindness, and demonstrate the power of courage, respect, confidence, and unity. The Power of Character is a heartfelt addition to the Life of a Military Child(TM) series. Created for military-connected children, civilian children, families, classrooms, and youth programs, this beautifully illustrated story encourages readers to believe in themselves, celebrate the talents of others, and understand that kindness is always more powerful than bullying. The book also includes lessons learned, important vocabulary words, reading-comprehension questions, and a complete answer key-making it an engaging story and a meaningful educational resource for home or classroom use.
