Will Daddy remember me? Will I remember him? Homecomings are wonderful reunions, but they can also be stressful at times.
Being deployed is a fact of life for soldiers of all military branches. Humanitarian efforts, operations other than war (OOW), peaceful or wartime missions – a soldier’s duty is to be there. And when it’s time for Daddy’s Boots to bring Daddy home, well, sometimes the unknown can be a bit scary.
But… What If? is a loving description of the subtle insecurities a child of a returning male soldier may have
This picture book beautifully complements the award-winning picture book, Daddy’s Boots and is highly acclaimed in military books and deployment books for children.
Dealing with the separation and reunion anxieties associated with military deployment, this book is a solid favorite among all branches of military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Reserves, and National Guards.
The illustrator has masterfully drawn the lovable and relatable characters to be racially non-specific; Bean is non-gender specific, as well, which makes this book perfect for all children.
Daddy is coming home, but he’s been gone a long time. Will he recognize Bean? Will Bean be able to pick Daddy out in a sea of soldiers?
This charming children’s book written by the award-winning author, Sandra Miller Linhart, and illustrated by the accomplished artist, Tahna Desmond Fox opens up a dialogue between the military child and his or her caregiver, and makes military separations and reunions a more positive event.
