Product Description
An hour is a long time to a small child. How do you describe the length of a military war deployment to a preschooler? When attempting to tell my son that his Daddy was not going to be gone for just a week or seven wake-ups, but for several months, I longed for a better way to lay it out for him. I felt a need for this story to be written when my three year old, Jack, became very insecure upon his father's deployment to the War in Iraq. I wished there was a way to help him "get his little arms around" the situation. It was new for me also and I didn't know how to help him. When my husband returned safely, I wanted to write the story. I wanted to document this time in our family's life; to put parameters around the situation for little people, who have no idea what's going to happen or why. Hopefully children can use our story to help deal with these deployments by seeing that there is a beginning, middle and thank God, an end to their parent or loved one being gone.

REMARKABLE, 2008-11-16
I purchased this book for my three year old grandson, who's daddy is in Iraq. The similarities, in this book, to his life right now are remarkable. Not only is his daddy in Iraq, but he also has a little brother. We were able to change the names in the book to become his story. The kid art is awesome and he relates to it well. He now sleeps with this book as well as the pictures of his daddy.

If you have a child who's parent is in Iraq, get this book. It's a cute little book that helps the child learn the process; like Daddy leaves, calls and writes, we do fun things while he's gone, we send packages, he misses some stuff, but then he comes HOME!!! It was extremely age appropriate for my 4 year old, but I cried the first couple of times I read it to her!!!

Awesome book, 2008-07-25
My 4 yr. old grandson was having a hard time with daddy deploying. Both my son and grandson loved this book and my son was able to use some of the content to talk about why he was going to Iraq. I very highly recommend this book. It's well worth the money.

Very helpful, 2008-07-09
This book helped us beyond any expectations I had. My husband is on his second tour in Iraq, and my kids are having a difficult time coping with his absence. My daughter (6) and son (3) both beg me to read it almost daily. Warning to parents!!! I did tear up a little- Especially on the dedication page.
