Editorial Review

Gabriel and the Special Memorial Day is a children's picture book by Sherry Roberts. Today is a very special Monday. Gabriel is a young boy eager to spend the day outside celebrating the occasion. But when he looks at his parents' faces, he realizes something is wrong. It's a downpour outside. When his father says Mr. Wayne may not hold the Memorial Day celebration today, Gabriel can't help feeling a little sad. He likes to visit Mr. Wayne, who tells the best stories and plays cars with him. Finally, the rain stops, but the sky is still cloudy. Mr. Wayne informs them that the celebrations will continue as planned. Mr. Wayne is playing 'Taps' in remembrance of all the men and women who gave their lives for their country. Gabriel and his parents arrive just at the right time.
