The story follows a young boy who experiences his birthday twice: once with his mom and once with his dad. It focuses on the joys of each unique celebration rather than the sadness of the split. This gentle, secular narrative is perfect for children ages 3 to 7, offering a practical yet heart-centered way to normalize the new normal. By highlighting the abundance of love and double the celebrations, it helps shift a child's perspective from what has been lost to the resilience and warmth of their evolving family structure.
