Two Homes by Claire Masurel, illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton 2003
A young boy named Alex describes what life is like with his divorced parents. He does so in a simple and straightforward manner. He has two rooms, two sets of friends, and two toothbrushes. One can only imagine the depth of emotion that dwells inside this young person as he is transported back and forth, but Masurel speaks of the adjustments in an immensely sensitive way. No matter where Alex is, he is completely loved, and this truth makes an enormous impact as he copes with the magnitude of divorce.
Whether you have struggled through a divorce yourself, or have sidestepped the wounds it can inflict, this is a must read with your child. It makes one very grateful for the love of a parent, whether together or apart.
Appropriate for ages 3-6
