This is a great book for kids of all ages. It really hit home with me since my parents were divorced when I was a child. It will help your kids understand what other kids go through and that families can be of all shapes and sizes.

This book brought tears to my eyes. It's message is relevant and profoundly simple. My children related to the characters in the story and they love to read it again and again. It is a story that focuses on the love of family, and how that love transcends divorce. It's a must have for any family of divorce!

I think that this book very tenderly discusses an issue facing many parents today. I have loaned it to a couple of friends who have been through a divorce with young children. In both cases, they said that the book helped them begin a conversation with their children about the love of family that can never be taken by divorce. Natalie has written this book from her heart and I am glad she can share it with others.

I wish I had known about this book when I was getting divorced. It speaks simply, profoundly, and directly to kids about an unfathomably complex time in their lives. Reilly speaks clearly, lovingly, and straight from the heart. They're 8 and 10 years old now, and my kids still open this book from time to time, three years after I bought it.

Buy this book for any child you know who is struggling with divorce.
