You Are Always With Me: A Poem for Those at Home When a Loved One Deploys (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781734718126)

A beautifully illustrated children's book designed to help deployed service members, and the deployed civilians who support them, connect with their loved-ones.

Written by an author who has worked in support of the military overseas, "You Are Always With Me" is an illustrated rhyming poem intended for those at home when a service member or civilian deploys. The poem reassures those encountering this separation by addressing the emotions they often feel:

• Abandonment
• Anger
• Confusion
• Sadness
• Fear for their deployed loved one

"You Are Always With Me" depicts two cartoon rabbits, one leaving for deployment, and the other staying home. The book contains a personalized dedication page, and is a perfect gift for any loved-one coping with separation during deployment, to include:

• Children
• Husband or wife
• Girlfriend or boyfriend
• Niece or nephew

Although many women service members deploy, as do many civilians, most of the books on this subject are intended for families of male soldiers. "You are Always With Me" is unique in that it is appropriate for any branch of service, and any age, race, or gender.

From deployment through homecoming, this book is indispensable in helping those who serve bridge the distance to connect in a meaningful way with those they love.
