Daddy is a sailor in the United States Navy. Learn the words Daddy knows about his ship and his mates. Join Ollie the Octopus and travel with Daddy as he sails on every sea in a great, big ship, watch what he does on board, and see the sights he sees.
Due to the naval tragedies that occurred while creating this book in 2017, I paid tribute to our fallen sailors aboard the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56), the USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62), and the C-2A Greyhound (VRC 30).
Each lost sailor is represented by a golden bird in flight or a star in the heavens, signifying they have passed from this world but their memories remain.
My heart and love go out to the families, friends, and loved ones of these twenty sailors, and every sailor who never made it home. TDF
