Product Description
While you are on that big ship, Daddy, far, far away I tell you things. I pretend the wind can carry my words clear across the ocean right to your heart. At times a loved one may be far, far away, but that special person is never far from mind and heart. Eileen Spinelli's lyrical, patriotic text and Rene Graef's uplifting illustrations depicting military families combine to create a reassuring book about separation and reunion.

 Great Book for Children, 2008-08-13
I think this is a great book! My husband is on his first 6 month deployment. Our children are 6 & 8 and it was easy for them to relate to it. I love that it talks about things that the children miss, how they remember, and even looking forward to the homecoming!

Great for deployments, 2008-08-04
I bought this book for my children and it really helped my kids deal with my separation. It let them know that they were not alone and that other kids were going through the same thing. I also think it helped for them to see that deployments are temporary and that I would be coming back home.

 Disappointed......, 2007-01-19
The pictures in this book are beautiful. The sentiment was sweet too. My 4-year old didn't connect to it at all. He was confused by all the different branches of the military being included and the Mommy being deployed scared him to death! Poor thing just had Daddy leave him. He doesn't need to wonder about Mommy leaving too. We gave this book away..... :(

Great choice, 2006-07-20
I'm not sure if I'll be able to read this book to my baby without crying. Great choice for children with deployed parents.

Good for all branches, 2006-03-10
I just read this book to my daughter, and we loved it. It gives the perspective of three children whose parents are a sailor, an airwoman, and a soldier. It was touching, with the children missing their parents who are far, far away. It's not the best of Spinelli's work, but my daughter was able to see that other military children miss their parents while they are separated, as well. I definitely recommend it to all military families with young children. Perfect for toddlers to early school-age!
