A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

With careers ranging from preschool teacher to psych nurse, Julie LaBelle's most challenging role was mothering her three young children during her Marine husband's deployments, and then years later standing by when their son enlisted and deployed with the Marines. Julie wrote the activities in My Dad's Deployment and My Mom's Deployment based on things she felt she should have done with her children, but didn't, during deployments. With 20/20 hindsight, Julie gets a do-over in life by sharing activities for young children that will be loved by parents and children alike as they face deployment together.
