The While You Are Away GLU Kit was developed to support children during deployment and honor their service when a family member is deployed. It includes the books While You Are Away, In My Heart, How Many Stars in the Sky?, as well as both a memory book and information sheets covering the deployment cycle and resources that support families during that cycle. Activity ideas will help children feel close to their loved ones, even if physically separate, help ease the adjustment to different schedules and responsibilities that deployment may bring, and assist families in nurturing strong family bonds. Designed for young children, toddlers through second grade.
