The only picture book built for deployment.
When their father ships out, Cory and Kyler carry something most children's books don't name. This story gives families the language — rooted in faith, presence, and belonging across distance.
Written by Stacy Casaluci. Illustrated by Kalpart. Made for every family counting the days.
Words from those who needed it most.
"This book gave my daughter words for something she didn't know how to say. We read it the night before my husband left."
"I use this in my classroom whenever a student has a deployed parent. It meets them where they are — not where we wish they were."
"The illustrations are luminous and the story is honest. This sits on our shelf alongside the books we return to, not the ones we outgrow."
They may be apart — but they are never alone.
Give children the story that names what they feel and shows them the presence that distance cannot reach.
