Supporting military children one little moment at a time

Here at MiliMoments, we strive to provide love and community to the military children of the world. We bring support to military families through realistic and unique stories that focus on a variety of engaging themes. These themes cover a broad range of military-specific experiences as well as everyday situations. We use adorable illustrations, roll-off-your-tongue rhymes, and relatable characters to make memorable stories that readers enjoy coming back to, time and time again. Our wish is that children connect with these characters and stories to find peace and solidarity in knowing there are others going through similar circumstances.

Although our stories are written with military children as the primary audience, we hope everyone who picks up our books finds something that resonates with them!

MiliMoments was founded in 2022 when Sydney noticed a huge lack of early childhood books centered around military themes. There are a lot of military picture books out there, but most are geared towards older children, with far too many words and difficult vocabulary for young children to grasp. Sydney sought out to change this. She wanted to create children’s books aimed at even the youngest military child, where difficult themes could be tackled at age appropriate levels, and important social-emotional learning skills could be taught in a gentle approach. Ideas quickly began to flood her mind and thus, MiliMoments was born.

MiliMoments books are unique because the majority are focused on social-emotional well-being. Many of the stories center around different reactions that may arise from both everyday happenings as well as diifficult-to-talk-through circumstances. We believe every child succeeds when their feelings, thoughts, and opinions are heard and validated. Our stories are written in a way to resonate with children by having relatable characters who experience big feelings. Through our stories, we hope to normalize all emotions and provide ways to navigate the various events that may come in life.

Each story presents different ways to tackle a variety of situations, and how caregivers can come alongside children while they work through their possible responses to these situations. Every child is different and certain strategies may work well one time and then not the next. Our books are written in a way to explore the wide range of each emotion and how it can present itself, as well as provide different tools and phrases that can be helpful in those times.

We hope our books bring confidence, emotional well-being, and resilience to the little one in your life!
