Synopsis

A Children’s Guide to Understanding PTSD in a gentle, rhyming picture book written to help children understand what happens when a parent comes home from war carrying invisible wounds.

Through comforting language and kid-friendly metaphors, this story reassures young readers that when Dad (or Mom) seems quiet, distant, or easily startled, it isn’t because love has changed—it’s because healing takes time.

Written by Justin Sims, a U.S. veteran and father, this book opens the door for honest family conversations about PTSD, emotions, and patience during the reintegration process. With warm illustrations and a hopeful tone, it shows that even when war follows someone home, love, understanding, and family support can light the way back.
