This children’s book is written to address the needs of families with young children who are experiencing the return of a parent who has been deployed with the military.

Although these reunions can be exciting and joyful, they can also be stressful, both for the adults and for young children. The book explores the many emotions young children may feel at this time and also helps the parents understand the children’s reactions and behaviour. Sharing this book together can help a family readjust to life together after a long separation.
