This is a great book for children to read if they have a family member that is gone due to being in the military. In the book it show different children who have their parent gone because of being in the military and how the children cope with the separation.

This book explains three children who share their experiences of having one of their parents gone. Great for military families, traveling parents, or a parent that is just gone for awhile. Ages 3-5 Pierce County Library

This book is good for kids whose loved one is in the military. It gives comfort to the child in telling them what the aren't is doing and why they are gone.

I like how the book explains deployment and reunitement of family. It's a good book to help children understand why their parent(s) went away for awhile.
