My Dad's a Hero

A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling with the emotional weight of a military deployment or the long absence of a father figure. It is designed to bridge the gap between the pride a child feels for their parent's service and the natural anxiety that comes with saying goodbye. The story frames service through the lens of bravery and duty, providing a gentle space for children ages 4 to 8 to process their loneliness and anticipation. By highlighting the connection between home and the front lines, it offers comfort to military families and provides a mirror for children who often feel their unique family structure is unseen. It is a vital tool for opening conversations about duty, distance, and the enduring bond of love.
