Never Far Apart

About the Book

A Children´s Book written for military parents and families by a military parent. This is a beautifully written and illustrated book that builds a bridge between a deployed military service member to child during periods of separation. The book includes a military lullaby which is also written by the author. What is really interesting, is that this heart warming and poetic book was written by a NAVY SEAL!
