Military Writers Society of America Review
Sometimes Apart Always in My Heart
From New York Times bestselling author Tish Rabe comes this heartfelt picture book that helps service members, who are deployed protecting our country, let their children know that they are heroes, too. While he is away from home, Daddy Bear wants his wife and kids to know they are on his mind and in his heart.
The story also introduces Alaska, a shelter dog who is serving his country by keeping an eye on everyone until Daddy comes safely home and features hand painted illustrations by award-winning artist Gill Guile.
Ms. Rabe wrote it in partnership with United Through Reading, a nonprofit that helps service men and women record themselves reading books to their children, then sends every child a free copy of the book so no one ever misses storytime. Tish Rabe Books created a plush version of Alaska so every child could have a little friend to hold while their brave parents are far away. To learn more visit: UnitedThroughReading.org
Meet Alaska!
Hi everyone, Tish Rabe here! I am very proud to share that I wrote two of the most popular VHS tapes of all time for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
In 1993, I had just finished writing all the lyrics for the children's show the Fox Kids Cubhouse, and was asked by Christopher Films to write the songs for both videos. I used public domain melodies like "I've Been Working on the Railroad" to write the songs, and have always been pleased by how many fans of the Turtles reach out to me to tell me they love the videos. My song from We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, "Gotta Get a Gift for Splinter", was just used in the trailer for the new Turtles movie from Paramount Pictures!
