Daddy's Big Trip

A deployment can be emotionally difficult for a military family. It can be predominantly confusing and stressful for children. Daddy’s Big Trip is an enjoyable story that aids children in military families to understand why their parent has to go away for a while and reassure them that they will return. In this story, a little boy named Emory is very unhappy about his dad being deployed for six months, as this is his first time experiencing a deployment. However, Emory’s parents are supportive of his feelings and helping him prepare for deployment.
