Pilot Daddy Book for Children

A heartwarming picture book created to support military children through deployments, extended work trips, and time apart from Dad.

My Flight Suit Pocket tells the story of a child who receives one of the many pockets from their father’s flight suit. The pocket becomes a special place to keep notes, cards, pictures, and small reminders of love.

Written by a therapist, military spouse, and mom, this comforting military kids book gently shows how connection can stay strong even when a parent is far from home. As the child fills “my flight suit pocket” with meaningful keepsakes, the story helps families talk about separation, love, deployment, and staying close no matter the distance.
