My Dad’s a Hero

While this book is primarily focused on a US Military Dad it’s a great educational tool for my readers in the US and the UK alike. For my US readers, this book offers a simple explanation to your young children about what daddy does for work. If dad’s deployed this father’s day spend some time with your kids helping them understand why daddy cannot be home. This is great for my UK readers, because of this note from the authors “This may be a tender subject for young readers so we’ve kept the book uplifting and free from scary words like guns, war and fighting. This book gives kids permission to be happy and proud of their military dad.” – US or UK, our military dads are heroes to their families, especially their children. The book also has places to paste pictures of dad and the kids and family photos too.
