We buy these by the case by Diana L. Mercer (Los Angeles, CA)  5 Stars
November 13, 2009
I'm a divorce mediator and we buy these books by the case to give out to parents who are struggling with how to discuss divorce with their children. It's a great conversation starter and the illustrations are child-friendly. The other book we give out is "It's Not Your Fault, KoKo Bear."

I was a child of divorce reading this book by Bethany S. Murphy (Washington DC) 5 Stars
November 08, 2009
I remember this book vividly when my parents got divorced, my mom gave it to me when she told me. It was incredibly helpful and explained what was happening in a way I could understand it. I would recommend this to any parent going through a divorce.

absolutely inappropriate! by Catherine  1 Stars
August 16, 2009
As a teacher and child from a divorce, I found this to be a horrible book. It put resposibility on the child for dealing with their parents inappropriate behaviors.

Divorce and Kids by Sharon R., LMSW 5 Stars
April 14, 2009
This is a fabulous book to help younger children identify and understand their thoughts and feelings when their parents divorce! Delightful illustrations, along with easy to read and to understand dialogue, create opportunity for parents and children to talk about a tough subject. As a clinician, I recommend it to divorcing clients, who parent younger children.
