We’re excited to announce the release of our brand-new children’s coloring book: “New Orders, New Adventures: A Military Family’s Journey.” Designed with love, insight, and heart, this coloring book is more than just a creative outlet—it’s a companion for children experiencing the major transition of military separation.
A Story Families Can Relate To
The journey from active duty to civilian life isn’t just felt by the service member—it touches the entire family. This coloring book follows a relatable military family as they receive new orders, say goodbye to their old life, and begin a new adventure in the civilian world. Through engaging illustrations and simple storytelling, kids can understand and process the changes happening around them.
Each page is crafted to help children feel seen, supported, and included. Whether they’re packing up for a move, adjusting to a new school, or watching a parent start a new job, “New Orders, New Adventures” gives them a way to connect with the transition.
A Tool for Healing and Connection
For many children, coloring is more than a fun activity—it’s a calming, expressive tool. This book provides a gentle way for military children to talk about their feelings, ask questions, and bond with their families during an uncertain time.
It’s also a helpful resource for parents who want to explain the journey ahead in a way their children can understand.
More Than Just a Book
“New Orders, New Adventures” is part of Alpha VI Battalion’s mission to support the entire military family, not just the service member. Because when one person serves, the whole family serves—and when they transition, the entire family transitions, too.
