About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling with the transitions of joint custody or feeling anxious about moving between two homes. It addresses the emotional weight of 'back and forth' life through the eyes of a young girl named Kara. The story highlights the importance of transitional objects and the continuity of love even when parents live apart. Kara's toy Rabbit serves as her constant companion, providing a sense of security and belonging in both houses. It is a gentle, secular, and deeply validating choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the logistics and feelings of divorce. Parents will appreciate how it focuses on the child's perspective without assigning blame or focusing on the conflict between adults.
