I Found a Job: Soldier. I found a job, #4

Cécilia dreams of becoming a soldier. She imagines a life of courage, honor, and service. But her grandfather wants her to understand what the uniform does not always show. In this illustrated fable, Cécilia tells her grandfather that she wants to serve her country, protect the innocent, and defend those who cannot defend themselves. To her, becoming a soldier seems noble, brave, and meaningful. Her grandfather listens with tenderness, but he refuses to let her dream remain simple.
Through a sincere and thoughtful conversation, he reveals the hidden realities behind military life: decisions made far from the battlefield, wars shaped by people who may never pay the price themselves, obedience tested against conscience, fear, loss, the grief of families, and the loneliness of those who return changed. He also speaks about the challenges a woman may face in a world still marked by sexism, where she may have to prove her worth twice before being fully respected.
This book does not seek to criticize soldiers or condemn those who choose to serve in uniform. On the contrary, it recognizes that military service can be deeply noble when it protects, rescues, and defends innocent lives. But it also asks an essential question: what happens to courage when it is used in the service of unjust decisions?Written for a general audience, I Found a Job: Soldier speaks to young people dreaming of service, to parents and educators, and to anyone willing to look beyond medals, uniforms, and speeches.
A short, illustrated, thought-provoking fable about courage, obedience, conscience, sacrifice, and the humanity one must preserve-even in the name of a flag.
