Help comfort and prepare preschool children of deploying soldiers by putting an encouraging book describing what deployment is in their hands!!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
A word from Heather Busch, the heart behind the fundraiser:
" As a military family, we desire to prepare our children for the many seasons of life they will experience. We want them to learn how to cope with the frequent changes that comes along with the military lifestyle in a positive way. Being a mother of preschoolers, that is not always an easy task due to the lack of understanding in young children. Upon my husband's second deployment, my husband and I were searching for ways to prepare our boys for what was about to come. We did not know how to explain “deployment” to them in a way that they would understand and not have any feelings of guilt or abandonment due to Daddy leaving. One of my friends just happened to be having an Usborne Books & More Party online and I stumbled onto the “My Daddy is a Hero” and “My Mommy is a Hero” books by Hannah Tolson. I purchased "My Daddy is a Hero" hoping that it would help us communicate to our preschoolers. We read it to them for days leading up to my husband's departure. The illustrations and word phrases meet preschoolers right at their level of understanding. My boys and I still read this book when they are missing their Daddy. It reminds them the good work that he is doing and that he will always come back. My heart is to purchase this book in bulk and give it to other military families struggling to communicate a pending deployment to their preschoolers. This book has had a huge impact on my children, and I know it will be helpful for others! Please consider teaming up with me so that we may bless other military families with this book."
