Book 2 of the Dirt Dog and Friends Series. It's almost the Fourth of July, and Tiny Tot Tiger has a lot of questions!

When Tiny Tot Tiger and his friends stop for ice cream at Delicious Dairy Sweet Treats, the talk turns to the upcoming parade - and Tiny Tot Tiger can't stop asking "why" and "what's that?" "What's the Navy?" " What do the stars on the flag mean?" "What's a patriotic spirit?"

As Tiny Tot Tiger and his friends, Dirt Dog, Furry Feline Frannie, Prissy Poodle, and Snicker Schnauzer, enjoy their treats, they discover that all of their dads served in different branches of the military: the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. When parade day arrives, the friends cheer for floats honoring liberty, the Declaration of Independence, and the men and women who protect their freedom. And when the veterans march past, and the fireworks light up the sky, even the youngest heart understands what it means to be an American.

Filled with vibrant illustrations, a discussion guide, and the full text of the Pledge of Allegiance, this timely picture book celebrates America's 250th birthday with warmth, wonder, and faith. A perfect read-aloud for families, classrooms, homeschoolers, and church libraries who want to raise children with gratitude for their country and the heroes who defend it. Stay tuned for audiobooks and workbooks, Fall 2026.
