My Parents are Fighting Again!
​Dealing with the feelings
​
When parents fight, children suffer. While parental conflict is a difficult subject, it's too important to children to ignore. In this story, the focus is less on the fighting parents and more on the feelings the child experiences--with help for how to deal with them.
Where Do My Brother and Sister Go?
A story for the youngest children in blended and stepfamilies
​
​There are plenty of books for children whose parents have gone through divorce. But what about the children that come later? These are the little "ours" children in the "yours, mine, and ours" families of modern times. These little ones have questions of their own about where their older half-siblings go, who this other parent is, what makes a "real" parent versus a "step" parent and so on. Where Do My Brother and Sister Go? is written just for them! With simple language, and heartwarmingly beautiful illustrations of contemporary family life, this book answers questions, explores feelings, and reminds everyone in a blended or stepfamily what really matters the most.
Going Back and Forth
A joint custody story for children
​
Ethan loves both his mom and his dad, but going back and forth between two homes is hard! Joint custody allows children whose parents are divorced or separated lots of time with each parent, but the actual transitions back and forth can be tough. Children will relate to Ethan's changing feelings as he goes from his dad's house to his mom's house. Parents get nice modeling on how to help their children.
