A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to navigate the transition between two separate households and needs help seeing that their world is expanding rather than shrinking. It is a vital resource for families undergoing divorce or separation who want to frame these big life changes through a lens of resilience and love. The story follows a young child experiencing life in two different homes: one with Mom and one with Dad. Rather than focusing on the loss of the original family unit, the narrative highlights the unique joys found in each environment. It gently addresses feelings of anxiety and worry while emphasizing that a parent's love remains a constant, immovable force. Designed for children ages 3 to 8, this book is an excellent tool for normalizing new routines and opening a safe space for honest conversation about the 'new normal.'
