Journaling is a wonderful way for children to practice writing freely. 
Writing in this way can foster confidence in writing and being able to 
communicate feelings. Having the choice of free or structured writing 
will cater to a variety of children. The social growth, writing, and 
literacy skills are all wonderful benefits of journaling. So, whether it
 be for work or play, use this journal as a tool for your thoughts.

Muchas familias extrañan a sus seres queridos cuando están lejos sirviendo en el ejército. A veces los hombres y mujeres del servicio son madres, padres, hermanos y hermanas. En esta historia, papá y los niños, Harmony y Dominic, están en casa extrañando a mamá. Mamá está en el ejército, y durante su despliegue, a veces esta lejos se casa por hasta 12 meses. A lo largo del libro, lectores pueden ver como la familia enfrentas sus días sin mamá, mientras la echas de menos.

Many families miss loved ones when they are away serving in
the military.  Sometimes the service men
and women are away from moms, dads, brothers, and sisters.  In this story Dad and the kids, Harmony and
Dominic, are home missing mom.  Mom is in
the United States Army, and during her deployment, she is sometimes gone for up
to 12 months.  Throughout the book you
experience what the family has to do to cope without mom, all the while missing
her.   I hope this book is a testament to
those families who make many sacrifices at home and abroad so that we can enjoy
the freedoms that we have.
