Written anonymously by a service member during a brief layover deployment, this book is a heartfelt attempt to help his children, as well as those of all service members and first responders, to understand the reasons for their parent’s absence. I’ll Love you Near, I’ll Love you Far is a book that seeks to reassure young readers that a parent’s love remains constant no matter the distance, time, or space that separates them. Illustrated by Keith Hobgood and designed by Out Of Our Minds Studios, this work honors all of our heroes.
