What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

For ages 4-10 Do you know a child that is struggling to understand why their military mommy or daddy missed their baseball game, recital or a birthday? If you do then “Why My Dad?” is for you. It is a fact that the military member is not the only one that serves his or her country. The family of that military member serves as well. As one would expect, the little military members that stay at home are the most affected. They have to endure the temporary duty or lengthy deployments that are part of the job. Unfortunately, the children are often too young and too confused to really understand this. All they know is mommy or daddy is gone. “Why My Dad?” offers a warm military story paralleled with a situation to which they can relate, “The Bully.” If they haven’t been affected by a bully they know someone that has. This book is designed to reach any branch of the service at any point in time.
