Daddy's Away, but We're Okay

By John McCann

When Daddy has to leave for a deployment, everything can feel a little different. The days might seem longer, and sometimes you might miss him a lot. But even when Daddy is far away, love never goes anywhere.

In Daddy's Away but I'm Okay, young readers follow a military child learning special ways to stay connected with Daddy while he's gone. From sweet candy countdowns that mark each passing day, to listening to Daddy's goodnight messages, to sending care packages full of love-there are many little moments that help make the time apart easier.

This comforting and hopeful story reminds military kids that it's okay to have big feelings, and that there are fun and meaningful ways to stay close to the people we love-even from far away.

And best of all... every countdown leads to the most exciting day of all-homecoming.

A gentle, encouraging book for military families navigating deployment, filled with simple ideas to help children feel connected, loved, and okay until Daddy comes home.
