Ellalee and Elliston Learn Daddy Has PTSD is a life-changing children's book written by a licensed clinical psychologist, created specifically for military families coping with PTSD. This powerful and compassionate story follows siblings Ellalee and Elliston as they begin to understand why Daddy is acting differently-and what they can do to help.

What PTSD is-explained in simple, age-appropriate language
Why Daddy may be distant, sad, or angry-and that it's not their fault
How to express and process their own emotions in healthy ways
