About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'new family' dynamic after a divorce or separation, especially if they are meeting half-siblings for the first time. Grace, a young girl who lives with her mother and grandmother, travels to Africa to visit her father, his new wife, and their children. The story addresses the complex knot of jealousy, displacement, and the fear that a parent's love is a limited resource. This is an essential read for families in transition because it validates a child's skepticism while offering a beautiful, realistic path toward acceptance. It acknowledges that families can look many different ways and that a child can belong in more than one place at once. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8, it provides a gentle, secular framework for discussing blended family structures and the endurance of parental love across distances.
