ServicePals.com raises Afghan Awareness
ServicePals.com is now promoting the sale of the book called My Daddy Is A Soldier, a new book that helps a small child come to terms with constant operational tours.
“The children of our soldiers are missing their fathers more than ever as they serve Britain on more frequent tours across the world. My Daddy Is A Soldier aims to support young children and families dealing with soldiers’ deployment overseas.
The Afghan Appeal Fund (AAF) launches a picture book aimed at the youngest members of the Army community whose small lives are invariably turned upside down when Daddy disappears on duty. Very few books exist which focus on a soldier’s absence within the family. This unique storybook explains, in simple text and photographs, that Daddy will be ‘going far away to work’ but will, most importantly, return.
Speaking at the launch of the book, President of the Afghan Appeal Fund, Lady Caroline Richards, said:
“I love this book. Anything that helps a small child understand and come to terms with deployment and the absence of a parent is invaluable. Indispensable….why hasn’t this been written before?”
ServicePals.com Product Director Gus Goodall an ex REME WO2 said ” If you know anyone with young children who has a parent in the Military then this book is a must. I wish my children could have had things explained to them like this when I was away on operations”.
