Underneath the Same Stars
How do you say goodnight when Mum is a world away?
When their mum leaves on a military deployment, Hayley and Keely have plenty of questions. Will she miss them too? Who will tuck them in? And how long will it be until they can hug her again?
A special teddy brings comfort. A care package carries a little piece of home. And when the girls look up at the stars, they discover something they can still share with Mum, wherever she is.
Underneath the Same Stars is a warmly illustrated, rhyming picture book about missing Mum and finding ways to feel close while she is away. From packing her bag to the long-awaited homecoming, the story follows both sides of deployment: a mother serving overseas and the family carrying on at home.
With an Australian military mum at its heart, this story gives children room to recognise their own worries, ask questions and talk about the parent they miss. Dad is there through bedtime, backyard stargazing and all the ordinary days between goodbye and welcome home.
A thoughtful gift for military families preparing for deployment or living through a separation, and a gentle introduction for classmates, friends and relatives who want to understand.
Includes a family stargazing guide to finding Orion's Belt in both hemispheres, so looking at the night sky can become something to share across the distance.
