About this book
Mommies and daddies are coming home after military service. Different children react in different ways. "This children's book is written to address the needs of families with young children who are experiencing the return of a parent who has been deployed with the military. Although these reunions can be exciting and joyful, they can also be stressful, both for the adults and for young children. Some children may have never met their returning father. Other children may be too young to remember the returning parent. Home Again explores the many emotions young children may feel at this time and also helps the parents understand the children's reactions and behavior. Sharing this book together can help a family readjust to life together after a long separation."--Catalog description.
