Life in a Naval family can be hard with long separations and dealing with deployments. Particularly for younger children who can struggle to understand why mummy or daddy is away for so long. Our books can help you talk to your child/children about this. Call us or email book@navalchildrenscharity.org.uk to receieve a free copy. Remember to put your name and address and tell us which book you want: Henry about a mummy going away or Zoe about a daddy going away.
