内容简介：
Mike was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1962. Raised in a family that valued academics, Mike graduated from Central Texas College and the University of Maryland with an eye towards literature and writing. Married with six children, Mike and his wife enjoy reading books to their children, especially before bedtime. Having been assigned to Baghdad, Iraq, the opportunities to be with his family can only be replaced with stories written (and dedicated) to each of his children, as well as the children of Iraq. Their smiles and tears are the crux for this book.
