The second book by local author Jess Love, Sometimes, explores the feelings of kids who's military parents have been deployed overseas. A more in depth sequel to children's book Soon, Sometimes also delves into the aspects of re-intergration into a family after being separated.
Jess hopes to encourage a normality of the feelings surrounding a military deployment and ensure that kids don't feel alone in their emotions.
Based on her own experiences, Jess has written and illustrated an authentic view on the subject that is easy for kids to connect to, and an eye opening for their parents.
