The touching story of the families of British soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan recording bedtime stories for their children. Storybook Soldiers is a new army-backed grassroots initiative which records the troops reading the stories, complete with sound effects and frequently moving messages.

A poignant look at a difficult separation and how the stories are helping to keep soldiers close to their children and bridge a gulf of not just miles, but also of experience and basic childhood understanding.
