Perky Learns About Divorce

Reach for this book when your child expresses guilt or responsibility for your separation, or if they are actively trying to fix your marriage. It addresses the common childhood myth that if they were just better behaved or worked harder, their parents would stay together. Through the eyes of eight year old Perky, the story validates the confusion and grief children feel when a seemingly happy home changes. This is a compassionate tool for parents to reinforce that divorce is an adult decision, not a child's fault. It is specifically designed for elementary aged children navigating the messy transition between one home and two, offering a realistic look at the trial and error of coping with big family changes.
