    About this ebook

    Gia loves her daddy. When he comes home from work, he gives her big hugs, swings her in circles, and even calls her his princess!

    When her daddy is called to serve his country in Iraq and Afghanistan, Gia talks to him on the computer, helps bake him cookie care packages, and waits for the day he can come home. But when her daddy finally returns from his war experiences with the wounds of a warrior, Gia and her family soon discover that even though life is different, everything is still alright.

    When Daddy Comes Home shares a poignant story for children of a soldiers journey to and from war as the family who loves him learns to open their hearts to change in the most positive light.
