Rosie's Day on a Warship

By Kristi Bickel

Rosie's Day on a Warship is a joyful, adventure-filled picture book that follows Rosie as she spends a day aboard her mom's Navy ship. Along the way, Rosie explores helicopters, giant anchor chains, the ship's bridge, and even the wardroom cookies-while learning the incredible history of the brave women who have served our country for more than two hundred years.

Through Rosie's curiosity and her mom's stories, young readers discover the trailblazing women who loaded cannons in the Revolutionary War, disguised themselves to fight in the Civil War, flew planes in World War II, broke barriers at service academies, and now lead across every branch of the military.

Filled with heart, humor, and real history, Rosie's Day on a Warship celebrates courage, service, and the belief that women can do hard things. It's an inspiring introduction to the heroes who paved the way-and a reminder that when we work together, we are stronger.
