Here at the Read-Aloud Revival, we’ve had requests from military families for books about military deployment.
As we selected them, we thought about the brave kiddos who stay home, while a parent serves far away…
…and we tried to find the most comforting books, with the most encouraging stories and best illustrations.
And to all the families who go through a separation in order to keep our country safe, we salute you and send our deepest thanks!
