I’m excited to share that my book, HOME MOVES WITH ME, is now available in the United Through Reading app! Service members can read my ebook, record themselves reading aloud, and request a FREE print book to be mailed home so their child can read along with the recording! I’m grateful for this collaboration between UTR and my publisher, Elva Resa Publishing, giving military families free access so even more military kids can read my book and many other books. What a great way for families to stay connected when they’re apart.

Look for all 17 Elva Resa ebooks in the UTR App
Download the free app here: https:// UTR.org/App

Service members: Log into the UTR App with ID.me, select my book, record yourself reading, request a free print book for your child to read along with your recording.

We love Lisa Molinari’s The Meat and Potatoes of Life column in Stars and Stripes this week! She shares her own family’s experience with a move to Germany to relate to @elvaresapublishing’s new picture book. Thank you, Lisa, for the heartfelt review!
