Soldier's Child

When a young girl's father is sent away overseas for the first time, she -- like many other in her position -- grapples with intense feelings and questions. How do you explain to a child a concept such as war? How do you explain why their parent has to live so far away, even during times of "peace"? "Why?", the question every parent dreads is tenderly examined in this story based on the true-life experiences of a military child and accompanied by real, photographic illustrations.
