person: My dad works at the army, and he sends us really nice letters.
"I miss you very much.
"I can't wait to come home.
Make sure to practice writing. Love, Dad."
Oliver: Their dad is in Afghanistan
on a nine-month deployment.
He reads to the girls every single night when he's home,
and they rely on those routines so much for comfort
that when he deploys,
that can be pretty tough for them,
so we started recording Daddy reading books that the girls request.
They could hear and follow along with him anytime.
Hey, Google, talk to My Storytime.
person on speaker: "Very well, then," said the badger...
Oliver: Storytime has meant so much to them.
It's really helped the girls to get through this deployment.
