The four unique books, adapted from award-winning Australian storybooks, are the first in Canada to pair children's stories with research evidence and the lived experiences of Canadian military and public service personnel families.
The books are supported by the Royal Canadian Legion, the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) and Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS).
The original Australian books are the brainchild of Dr. Marg Rogers, a doctor of Early Childhood Education at the University of New England (UNE), and a research fellow with the Manna Institute, Australia.
Rogers recognized that although young children from military, veteran and PSP families grapple with distinct challenges that can hinder their development, few age-appropriate Australian resources existed to support them.
