Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3-A poignant photographic look at the experience of being separated from a parent who is serving in the military. The large, beautiful images depict actual parents and kids and include a diverse group of individuals from a variety of military branches, allowing readers to see their own stories on these pages. Written in verse, Kerley's accessible text explores different emotions that children feel when a parent is away on active duty. Included in the back matter are a note on "Dealing with Separation," information about the work that people serving in the military do, tips for adults for helping children cope, and some further resources. A map with location details is provided for all photographs, giving kids the opportunity to connect even more deeply with the book. VERDICT A quality purchase for collections that support those who are coping with the demands of military life.-April Sanders, Spring Hill College, Mobile, ALα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review

"The ache and loneliness felt when missing a family member on deployment comes through in this photo essay about children of military and government personnel. Kerley gives voice to the children's emotions, as they express fear, resolve to stay positive and strong, and love through simple personal statements matched by crisp, compelling color photography of ethnically diverse service members and their families." -- Kirkus

"Although this book will have special meaning for those children whose parents or caregivers are serving in the military, it’s also a valuable resource for those looking to understand more about the children of military families and their unique needs... An important book for comfort, support, and education." -- Booklist

"In this expansively designed book, the photos tell the stories not only of the deployed mothers and fathers far away but of the frustrations and worries and coping strategies of the children left behind... Children of soldiers might be comforted knowing there are others in the same situation, but all children will have their eyes opened to the challenges families face when one or both parents serve far away from home. " -- The Horn Book
