Meet Chandelle.

If you’re a military-connected parent, you’ll want to meet Chandelle! If you’ve weathered a deployment (or many) you’ll likely recognize your own children in her book: Daddy Left With Mr. Army: A Child’s View of Military Deployment. It is a sweet book that discusses all the emotions our military children experience during the deployment process.

Chatting with Chandelle was such fun, as she explained her decade long process for collecting the stories that became her 1st book. Her effort to capture the deployment experience has provided parents and kids with the words they couldn’t find for their own challenges.
