Are You There Little Owl?
Little owl is hiding! As we make our way through the forest, we keep thinking they have found the owl, only for it to turn out to be something else when we turn the page. Children will love the surprise element of turning the pages until finally, on the last page, little owl is revealed! Can you guess who little owl is having a snuggle with?

My Daddy is a Hero
Military daddies do all kinds of jobs in all kinds of places, but there’s one thing every military child knows for sure – “My Daddy is a Hero!” This is a great book to remind kiddos of how their daddy does important, selfless, honorable work. It can also help explain why daddy is sometimes away for work. This is a wonderful book for any child with a father that has to be deployed.

B is for Bedtime
“B for the Book with my dad. It’s a winner.” This timeless before-bed classic is told in gentle rhythmic verse, leading us through a charming A-to-Z bedtime routine beginning after dinner to falling asleep. This sweet story will become a favorite read-aloud, as children learn their letters at the same time.

Luna Loves Library Day
Luna’s parents live apart, but she loves library day: that’s the day she spends with her dad. They read a book together about two parents that fight and separate, but both parents still love their daughter even though they aren’t together anymore. This is a sweet book to read with a child that lives within a divorced family.
