A heartfelt picture book for military families with children ages 3 to 7
 
Help your child feel seen, loved, and understood—especially when a parent is far away serving our country.
 
My Parent is a Hero is a beautifully illustrated story that gently walks young children through the emotions of having a deployed parent. Told through the eyes of a child, this poetic narrative affirms both the bravery of the parent and the quiet courage of the child left at home.
 
With characters representing diverse ethnicities and all branches of the military, every page is designed to reflect real families and real feelings. Children will see themselves in the story and be reminded that even across oceans, love stays close.
 
This tender story encourages emotional expression, builds connection, and sparks conversation. It also includes special interactive pages—where children can draw, write, and reflect on their own heroic parent.
 
Perfect for ages 3–7, this book is ideal for:
Families preparing for deployment
Bedtime reassurance during separation
Military base schools, chaplains, and counselors
Gifts for military children and their caregivers
 
Let your child know: they are seen, they are strong, and they are never alone.
Because when your parent is a hero... You are one too.
