"Daddy Goes On A Trip" addresses pre-school children and their concerns about parents who travel or are militarily deployed. Children today are often exposed to things that their parents never had to face. Military deployment was practically unknown for a generation. Two income families have become the norm. Kids are often confused and even frightened as to why Daddy or Mommy has to travel. Taking the time to clearly explain can make a world of difference for the child�s emotional and mental stability. Addressing fear and helping children realize they are not the only ones experiencing the disruption of travel and deployment is the goals of the book.

Once again a book was motivated by things I saw around me. A 3 year old climbing into the suitcase her traveling father was packing and telling him she was ready to go, literally brought tears to my eyes. She just couldn�t understand why Daddy wasn�t home all of the time. You have to be made of stone if you don�t well up watching military parents being welcomed home from deployment by their children. Many of those kids have difficulty understanding where or why their parents are gone. I don�t expect this book to be any kind of panacea; I only hope that it provides some of these children some understanding of the world around them.
