About This Book

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share their space, your attention, or is navigating the friction of a newly blended family. Two's Company follows the lives of two dogs with polar opposite personalities who are suddenly forced to live under one roof. It captures the authentic sting of jealousy and the awkwardness of 'moving in' with a stranger, making it a perfect mirror for children aged 7 to 10 who are adjusting to step-siblings or new roommates. By using the perspective of pets, the story provides a safe, low-stakes environment for children to process their own feelings of displacement. Parents will appreciate how it models the messy, gradual process of finding common ground and the realization that a family can grow without anyone being pushed out.
