Picture books written by a Tampa firefighter for his two girls, about the nights he's on shift and the days he's home.
Firefighters work 24-hour shifts. For the kids at home, that means one bedtime in three without Daddy. These books turn those nights into a routine: a story, a Bible verse, a question to talk about and a prayer for the crew.
Sisters Arabella and Alaina spend twelve sweet days with their firefighter dad, and thirteen shift nights praying for him while he's away. Each night has a Bible verse, a question to talk about and a simple prayer. Ages 3 to 8.

Daddy has the Christmas Eve shift, so Christmas comes to the station: dinner with the crew, a toy drive, and a call that comes in just as everyone sits down. And Christmas morning doesn't go quite the way anyone planned.
Tell me when it's outThese books come from our real life: the shift nights, the toy drives, the dinners at the station. I wrote them so my girls would know what to do on the nights I'm gone: pray for Daddy and his crew.
Anthony Fonseca, firefighter, husband to Allison, dad to Arabella and Alaina
