My Dad Is a Seabee

What does it mean to be a Seabee kid?

In this heartfelt picture book, a young child proudly shares what makes their dad different from other Sailors. He doesn’t go out to sea — he builds roads, schools, bridges, and hope.

But sometimes Seabees deploy.

Through gentle storytelling and warm illustrations, My Dad Is a Seabee helps children understand:

• What Navy Seabees do

• Why deployments happen

• How families stay strong while Dad is away

• And why deployments aren’t forever

With reassuring language and a joyful homecoming moment, this book reminds military children that love always comes home — sometimes even on your birthday.

Perfect for:

-Navy Seabee families

-Military children facing deployment

-Homecoming celebrations

-Military appreciation gifts

-Preschool and elementary readers

A meaningful story created especially for Seabee families — because representation matters.

For the children behind the uniform

Military life can be confusing for young children—especially when a parent deploys.

My Dad is a Seabee helps kids understand what their parent does and why their work matters, turning uncertainty into pride and connection.

Created with real military families in mind

• Easy-to-understand explanation of Seabee work

• Representation for Seabee families

Helping kids understand what their Seabee parent does.

Seabees have many important jobs, from building runways to constructing safe places for others. This book introduces those roles in a way kids can understand and feel proud of.

They build and repair runways

They work hard to build what others need

They do it all for their families
