highly recommended

My son loved this.

Book is geared towards a young audience but my 7 year old found it easy to read. He reads it often when he misses his dad and even wrote a book report on it. Takes the blame off of the child and frees them to love both parents inspite of the situation. Was a bit taken aback by the mother being the one to leave. Otherwise pleased.

Love this book

my children have a classmate with divorced parents. every now and then they would see him come to school with a suitcase so they finally asked and got the answer my parents are divorced so sometimes i go with my mom and sometimes with my dad. this book helped them understand the whole deal with divorce.

Highly recommended for little kids going thru a divorce.

Ordered this book along w/3 others for my 5 & 3 yr old boys who are going thru a divorce between their mom & me. It is their favorite 1 out of the 4 - and it is nice that is places a primary emphasis on the role of the 2 boys with their father. However, mom is not negatively portrayed and gets a fairly equal amount of time in the story. It helps explain to the kids that the divorce is not their fault - but something that is only between the adults. It also helps emphasize that both their parents still love them wherever they go. At times, this story is a little more complicated, but I know the message is getting through. I also highly recommend "TWO HOMES", which is a little less complicated and is definitely level-handed for both parents.

Helpful resource

I am a social worker in private practice and I have read this book to many of my clients. It covers important issues/topics related to divorce and normalizes feelings. It is a particularly helpful tool for helping children understand that the divorce was not their fault.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

With childlike innocence and humor, a young narrator living with his single father and brother explains divorce and it?s grown-up words ? like ?New Arrangement,? ?Ideal Situation,? and ?Differences? ? from a kid?s point-of-view. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that divorce is not the child?s fault, that it is a grown-up problem. Deals with practical day-to-day matters such as single-family homes, joint custody, child-care issues, and misunderstandings. Includes Note to Parents. Full-color illustrations through-out. For ages 2-6.
