My Dad is Going Away, but He Will be Back One Day; A Deployment Story1 review
James Thomas, Melanie Thomas

Trafford Publishing, 2004

Poor quality book, also oriented toward Navy.

This is the first book I have EVER returned. I had hoped, despite the cover, that this book would be applicable to children with parents in any branch of the military. It is NOT. It's very strictly Navy oriented, with dad getting on a ship and working on a ship. Also, the book is very poor quality ...

I ordered this book for my two year old son when his dad deployed to Iraq. It is very simple and easy for him to understand. The book is narated by a little boy who is very proud of his dad's job even though it sometimes makes his dad travel far away. It briefly explores the feelings a child may ...

When Dad's at Sea1 review
Mindy L. Pelton

Albert Whitman & Company, 2004

gentle story of the family of military left behind--

this is a sweet but realistic, gentle story of the child left home-fears, anger at loss of parent, puzzlement, and is handled with good story content and wisdom. I was pleased to give it to my grandson, who sometimes says his Daddy-out at sea- is "sick".
  
  











  



  
Speak Through Me: The Diary of a Military Brat2 reviews
Starlene Stringer

Epiphany Productions and Publications, 2002

Comforting For All Ages and Reminds Us We're Not Alone

This book is written in such a poetic way that it makes it an easy read. It's like you're reading someones diary. Yet, it offers words of comfort and inspiration. It gives parents the words to explain war to children and provides understanding for the loved ones of soldiers. I could read it over ...

My husband has been deployed now for 1 month and I bought this book to read with my 11 month old. Obviously she doesn't understand why her Daddy is gone, but she can't get enough of this book. I have it memorized because she insists on reading several times a day. I guess it is the illustrations ...

Excellent and very helpful book!

+ A bit lengthy

I borrowed this book from the local library and I loved it so much that I had to go out and purchase it. While it is for children a little older than toddler age, any book especially one about a sensitive topic such as a deployment, should be pre-screened by parents. I used to be in the ...
