  Boo Boo Bear's Mission is the story of how the author's son and granddaughter stayed connected during the second of his three deployments to Iraq. The illustrations for the book were drawn by children from military and civilian families. In addition to sharing a touching story, the book also contains a resource guide that describes specific ways caregivers can support children who are experiencing a deployment separation.
