Weekend Dad

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the logistical and emotional whiplash of moving between two homes after a divorce. It speaks directly to that heavy, quiet feeling of being in one place while parts of your heart are in another. Through the eyes of a young boy, the story validates the confusion of living in a new apartment that does not yet feel like home and the bittersweet reality of saying goodbye to one parent to be with the other. Naseem Hrab captures the nuances of the weekend dad experience with deep empathy and realistic detail. The book does not offer a magical solution or a happy-ever-after where the parents reunite. Instead, it offers something more valuable: the recognition that it is okay to feel out of place and that love remains constant even when living rooms change. It is an essential choice for parents looking to normalize the transition period of single-parent households and shared custody arrangements for children aged four to eight.
