I am a recently divorced mother of two young boys, ages 8 and 9. I could tell the divorce upset them, but I couldn't get them to talk about it--until we read this book together. It is written by kids and they talk about how they felt when their parents divorced. My boys could relate and it helped them start talking about their feelings. I recommend this book to any divorcing parent with kids between the ages of 8-12.

This book is great for a pre-teen age group. It covers a lot of feelings that the child may feel and lets them know those feelings are ok. I would not recommend this book for children under 8. It is a little mature for children younger than that.

I was looking for a book to give to my nieces because my sister-in-law was getting a divorce and the kids were having a difficult time. This book was recommended by a therapist. The book did the trick--helped the kids talk about what was bothering them. I asked the kids why they liked the book and they said because it was written by kids like them. They thought it was great. That's the best testimonial out there.

My kids loved this book. It's written by real kids who have gone through their parent's divorce and it opened a dialogue with my children that I would have never had if we hadn't read this book together.

I bought this book but I really do not know why. I am a school counselor and do not find this very useful with my students. Their own stories are more powerful than reading these stories. To each his own, I would say. I would send it back, but the postage would be almost as much as the book, I think.

It might be a useful book for a parent to share with a child.
