I wrote this book for the children of divorce—and their families—that I’ve worked with over the years, and also for the child of divorce inside myself. I drew from both my professional and personal experience.

A 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review that highlights the importance of inclusivity.

I want all readers to feel seen and cared about—to know that this book is for and about them. So, the illustrator and I worked hard to represent diversity in many forms.
