Tomp, Sarah Wones. Red, white, and blue good-bye

Yellow ribbon for daddy, Anissa Mersiowsky

I Miss You!: A Military Kid's Book About Deployment by Beth Andrews

Uncle Sam's Kids: When Duty Calls by Angela Sportelli-Rehak

Daddy, Will You Miss Me? by Wendy McCormick

Daddy Is a Soldier by Kirsten Hallowell

Night Catch by Brenda Ehrmantraut

Daddy's in Iraq, But I want him back, Carmen R. Hoyt

I found most of these titles on Amazon.com where one thing leads to another. Unfortunately most of these titles are not owned in my Library system, but most of them have good reader reviews on Amazon. I know I have seen mention of books about MOMS who are being deployed, but couldn't find any right now.

Raising You Alone by Warren Hanson is a wonderful, readable story.

I was asked several month ago to do a 1/2 hour presentation on
"Supporting Families through Books." (Ask my to do anything far enough in advance and I will say yes!) The emphasis was supposed to be on helping military families with young children cope with the separation. This program is targeted to the early care and education community (those people who work with children birth - 6 years), and I am having difficulty finding books for that age group on this topic. Do you have a favorite book that you use? Can you provide other sources to find these materials. I have decided to expand the emphasis and include other areas -- such as nightmares, divorce, etc.

I welcome your suggestions. I have to prepare this presentation next weekend as the conference begins July 20. Thanks in advance for your advice! I'll add this bibliography to my web page after I make the presentation at conference.

Carole
