Description
A comforting story and intimate paintings reassure children that, in the face of divorce, there can be warmth and love.
At Mommy’s house, Alex has a soft chair. At Daddy’s house, Alex has a rocking chair. In each home, Alex also has a special bedroom and lots of friends to play with. But whether Alex is with Mommy or with Daddy, one thing always stays the same — Alex is loved.
Claire Masurel’s gently reassuring text focuses on what is gained instead of what is lost when parents divorce. Kady MacDonald Denton has
sensitively created all the small details of two distinctly different homes, while firmly establishing Alex’s place in both of them.
TWO HOMES will help children — and parents — embrace even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic heart.
