A Year Without Dad

A Year Without Dad by Brunson, Jodi. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780974068312.

A Year Without Dad was written to be a comfort to any child who has a parent serving in the National Guard. Whether the parent is away during war or peacetime, military separation can be a scary time for a child. What children will learn from reading this book is that it was not such a scary time for Ryan and his little sister Anna. Reading through the book season by season and being able to read about Dad coming home at the end will make the year seem to go by more quickly. After reading this book to your children, we encourage you to create a diary or scrapbook of your own. Your children and your soldier will be able to cherish it always.
