About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they need a straightforward, gentle tool to explain divorce to their young child. Using friendly dinosaur characters, this guide walks through the entire process of parental separation in a non-judgmental, reassuring way. It addresses common questions and fears, such as why parents divorce, what it's like to have two homes, how holidays change, and the introduction of new partners. The book consistently reinforces the core messages that the divorce is not the child's fault and that both parents will always love them. For ages 4 to 8, its chapter-like format makes it a valuable resource that families can return to as new situations and feelings arise, making a complex topic more manageable for little ones.
