Dr. Chanda Nicole Holsey, founder of Healthy Aims for Little Ones and for their Families (HALO for Families), an organization whose mission is to meet the unique physical health, mental health, and social needs of children and families by identifying, developing, and promoting high quality, relevant resources that are child-focused, family-centered, and culturally and developmentally appropriate, has written and self-published her second children’s book:  Precious Pete, Will You Remember Me, When I Am Out to Sea? -- a follow-up to Dr. Holsey’s inaugural book, Savvie Sunshine, Will You Remember Daddy When I Am Out to Sea?  Both children’s books are charming stories that address the separation anxiety experienced by the Navy dad when facing a military deployment.  Both books are important because in our society, men are often socialized to hide their feelings or withdraw.  However, that is very difficult to do when a man has to leave his young child whom he adores and is really just getting to know.  Both books focus on how mom and child will help relieve dad’s nervousness from having to leave his family.  They are delightful children’s book that kids will enjoy and parents will appreciate and embrace.
