Unpack feelings brought on by parent-child separation with the help of a military family who discovers ways to stay connected
When six-year-old Nona's mom is deployed with the navy, she experiences separation anxiety. She misses her mom's cooking, bedtime stories and snuggles. Nona yearns to be close to her mom, and despite her dad's attempts to cheer her up, she feels very sad. But when her dad suggests doing something for her mother, Nona begins to feel a little better. Could there be other ways to stay connected to her mom while she is overseas?
As a single mother and service member, author Novia Harrington experienced the emotional upheaval and stress of leaving her son behind when she was deployed overseas. Nona's Mommy in the Military was born from Harrington's desire to help children who are struggling with a prolonged separation from their parents to process and manage their complex emotions. Featuring tips for both children and parents for maintaining familial bonds as well as discussion questions to encourage communication, the book fosters emotional growth and reminds children in military families that they are not alone.
