Book Cover & Preview Text
Each night I lay and close my eyes
I miss my daddy’s lullabies.
But in my dreams I can see
All the places you could be!
I dream of you in a place full of history.
Eating cheesy pizza somewhere in Italy.
Are you walking through the desert with the sand between your toes?
Or riding on a camel’s back with sun screen on your nose?
So many places in this world that I have never seen.
Take pictures please so I can see everywhere you’ve been.
Of all the places you could be the best is yet to come.
I understand you had to leave to fight for our freedom.

About the Book
When her daddy is away, this little girl misses him terribly. She finds comfort in her dreams, imagining all the places her daddy might be. Maybe he’s eating pizza in Italy. Maybe he’s at the top of the Eiffel Tower in France. He could be climbing Mount Fuji in Japan or playing with kangaroos in Australia.
Whether dreaming of the sea, desert, or jungle, this proud little girl knows Daddy is away serving her country. He is gone to fight for freedom—but a happy hug and kiss await his safe return.
Mother and military spouse Shina Robbins is no stranger to her family sometimes being apart, but Oh, the Places Daddy Could Be! is a reminder to appreciate our heroes and find joy in the adventures that come with military family life.
