Sarah's dad is a soldier in the Navy. Often, he is away on the ship. Sometimes it's just for a few days, but other times it can take several months before he comes home again. In this story, Sarah shares how her mother and her brother Finn cope with everyday life without dad, what tasks their father has on board the Navy ship, and how family life continues during his absences. The encouraging book concludes with a few uplifting children's prayers and a postscript for parents containing valuable information and tips related to deployment.
