About This Book

A parent should reach for this book when their child is beginning to ask why Mom and Dad are no longer living in the same house or when the child seems to be internalizing blame for the family split. It is a gentle, straightforward resource designed to help young children process the confusing emotions that accompany divorce and separation. The story follows young Logan as he navigates the logistics of two homes and the heavy feelings of sadness and worry that follow. Written with a therapeutic lens, it emphasizes that while the family structure is changing, the parents' love for the child remains constant. It is developmentally perfect for the 3 to 7 age range, offering a secular and reassuring framework to help children realize that the divorce is not their fault and that they are still safe and loved.
