This book is intended to help children cope with separation from a parent due to military service. The author includes real postcards written by her father while he served in the Philippines in World War II.

The boy in the story is worried about his mother, who has gone to war, and his grandfather (the author's brother) comforts him by sharing the postcards he received from his father during World War II. Together, they decide to make a scrapbook of the WWII postcards and the emails the boy receives from his mother. I would have liked to see more about the scrapbook, but the book ended pretty abruptly at that point.

My husband is active duty Army and I am in the Army Reserves. My stepdaughter is always worried about her father going to war. Luckily, he has not deployed to a war zone since before she was born nearly a decade ago. Now that he and I have a daughter together, I would love to have a copy of this book on the childrens' bookshelf. Even if we are not separated by war, we will be separated by other military commitments that take place in order to prevent war, so this book will still be a useful tool.
