The author really relates to the feelings that a child goes through during a divorce. From the Author After checking out the books I had already written my student teacher said, "your next book should be about helping kids through divorce because there are no good books out there on this topic and we see so many kids with separated families." I went home that night and wrote out the entire book in my journal. I am very passionate about this topic. When I first got divorced when my daughter was two, when I told people I was divorced they would say, "I'm sorry." My response would always be, "I am not, this was the most healthy possible decision I could have made for my daughter and me." If it is possible to save a marriage I one hundred percent believe that you need to try all of your options first. If after you have given it your all and it is still unhealthy you need to ask yourself, "Is this situation healthy for me and my child/children?" If it is not then you need to choose the most loving situation for you. That may mean leaving an unhealthy relationship. While I was working on the illustrations for this book two of my daughters friends (now 7 years old) asked what I was doing and asked to hear the book. Both were from separated homes and they both said, "I need this book when you are done!" That melted my heart because I know without a doubt that this book will do what it is meant to do! Help kids understand divorce. From the Inside Flap For all my students and friends going through divorce From the Back Cover Supporting children and parents navigate divorce!
