Product Description
"Parents looking for a book about separation or divorce will find few offerings as positive, matter-of-fact, or child-centered as this one. . . . Simple, yet profoundly satisfying. - BOOKLIST (starred review)At Mommy’s house, Alex has a soft chair. At Daddy’s house, Alex has a rocking chair. In each home, Alex also has a special bedroom and lots of friends to play with. But whether Alex is with Mommy or with Daddy, one thing always stays the same - Alex is loved. The gently reassuring text focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex’s place in both of them. TWO HOMES will help children - and parents - embrace even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic heart. |

Excellent book for pre-schoolers going thru their parents divorce. by Mr. R. R. HERMAN (Paulding, Ohio)  5 Stars
August 31, 2009
Got this book & 3 others for my 5 & 3 yr old boys who are going through a divorce with their mom & me. It is a pretty simple story - that really gets a lot of responses from my 3 yr. old (I have 2 beds, 2 toothbrushes) and reinforces that both parents love the child no matter what, where, or whenever they are. I also highly recommend "Was it the chocolate pudding?" Please at least make sure to breach these subjects with your kids no matter what - so they can get a better concept of what is going on in their lives!

Two Homes by C. Williams 5 Stars
June 22, 2009
Very nice. Good for kids with parents that are separating and for kids that know of friends' parents that are separating. I would say that the age level is lower, more like preschool.

What if... by Monika Gonzalez (Atlanta, GA)  3 Stars
June 08, 2009
I am not a parent, I am a step parent (very new by the way) and I bought this book for the kids for whenever they get to visit us, I found very idealistic and probably not reliable for all type of cases, what if one of the parents or both of them are not doing what they are supposed to, like, for example, maintaining a friendly relationtship for the sake of the kids? This book is for those cases where both parents are doing an excellent job in being a divorce parents, I guess we all love that image.

Great book for younger children by Patricia R. Clarke  4 Stars
June 08, 2009
I love the way the books depicts that the child actually has two homes now; not concentrating on the fact that they come from a broken home. My 6-year old granddaughter loves this book and talks about the apartment she shares with her Mom as her first home and the one she visits her Dad as her second home.
