A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to split time between two different households and needs help visualizing what this new reality looks like. Gracie is a gentle, matter-of-fact exploration of a young girl's life as she moves between her mother's home and her father's home. The story focuses on the tangible differences in each house, such as different toys, varied rules, and unique routines. While the book touches on the inherent sadness of saying goodbye, its primary goal is to normalize the dual-household experience for children ages 3 to 7. By highlighting that love remains constant despite the physical changes, it offers a sense of security and continuity.
