Amazon.com Review
How do you talk to your children about your divorce? How can you best handle their responses? Here's a children's book and parenting tool rolled into one. It's Not Your Fault, Koko Bear is a picture book designed to be read by parents to their children. Koko Bear's parents are getting a divorce, and Koko, a preschool-aged unisex bear, isn't happy about it. "I don't like this divorce. I don't want two homes," Koko says. Koko Bear's story doesn't minimize kids' pain, but it doesn't wallow in it either. The message is positive: children are reassured that their feelings are natural, that their parents still love and will care for them, and that the divorce is not their fault. At the bottom of each page, there are bullet points for parents that give information and advice about what the kids are going through, and the best way to handle each issue as it arises. (Ages 3 to 7 and parents) |

divorce & kids by Sharon R., LMSW  4 Stars
April 14, 2009
Breaking up is hard to do, especially if it involves parents, kids, and divorce. Delightful illustrations, clearly scripted dialogues, and parental education gives this book an A at helping younger children understand that divorce is not their fault. As a psychotherpist, I highly recommend it for divorcing parents.

I felt that the book was very wordy for the age group that it addresses.

unrealistic by Teresa 2 Stars
April 27, 2008
I read the book to my two children and they simply looked at me and said ..."bears don't get divorced!" I think it is unrealistic and they're aren't any coping tools to resolve issues the PARENTS often create for the children after divorce or separation. It is cute but they seemed to have a hard time identifying with bears getting divorced.

Very helpful by P. J. Olson (usa)  5 Stars
January 02, 2008
This book was helpful for my 5 & 7 year olds during divorce, but it contained things they will not experience, so that started more insecurity issues. Still had good ways to handle tough situations.

Excellent book!!! by J. Kelly (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars
November 02, 2007
This book has been wonderful for discussing divorce in a nurturing way with a 5 year old. It is a favorite at bedtime, and is well written for young children. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to answer childrens' questions about divorce.
