Description

When the USAF Thunderbirds selected Caroline "Blaze" Jensen to fly with the team her son was only three years old. As much as he loved going to airshows, he was sad whenever his mom left home. She traveled at least four nights a week during airshow season. On the nights she was lucky enough to tuck him into bed, Blaze and Finn devised a plan: They joked that Finn could turn into a mouse, stow away in the cushion, and experience all of the adventures flying around with Mom. Thundermouse was born. Blaze wrote this children's book in 2013. This project finally became a reality with love and encouragement from her Thunderbird sister and editor, Lisa Bolt Simons (daughter of Capt. Jerry Bolt). Lisa introduced Blaze to Donna Eicher, a talented Minnesota artist who eagerly dove into the project and brought Thundermouse to life The perfect book to read in military families and single-mom homes, as well as aviation enthusiasts, Thundermouse will bring comfort to children who miss their parents when they're working.
