The first thing I noticed about the book was the wonderful, bright and large illustrations. My son loves books and he loves looking at the pictures and noticing all the little things about them and this book has perfect pictures for that! I also love that this book is not only written to help military families but also for families who have a daddy who may have to travel a lot.
The story starts from a little boy's perspective of how his daddy is getting ready to leave. I love how it goes through the tough feelings but also talks about ways to deal with them. It continues by giving ideas of what the little boy did to keep in touch with his daddy and to keep the relationship going.
At the end of the story, it covers getting ready for daddy's homecoming, and all the preparations that come during that time. Then after daddy gets home it shows the little boy getting one-on-one time with his dad. This book is perfect for children during deployments because it covers every phase of the deployment. It prepares them for what to expect and gives them solutions to what they can do to stay close to their daddy even though he is far apart from them.
At the end of the book, there are discussion questions that will lead you to talk to your child about the upcoming deployment and for during the deployment. There is also a section for other ways to help countdown the days until daddy comes home. I love this book and recommend it for every military child! I can't wait to use it for my son next time his daddy deploys.
