Divorce.

Our Review

Navigating the end of a marriage is challenging for any family, but this thoughtful picture book specifically addresses the unique experience of divorce when a child has special needs. Through gentle storytelling and clear, reassuring language, it explores the complex emotions and practical changes that children with diverse abilities may encounter during family transitions. The narrative validates feelings of confusion, sadness, and worry while emphasizing the consistent love both parents provide.

What makes this resource particularly valuable is its dual focus on emotional support and practical predictability, offering visual schedules and social stories that help children with special needs understand new routines. The inclusive illustrations represent various disabilities and family structures, making it accessible for children with different communication styles and learning needs. This book serves as both a comforting story and a practical tool, helping families create stability during uncertain times while supporting emotional literacy and resilience building.
