Dealing with My Parents' Divorce ISBN: 9781445157924
Dean, Venitia and Lacey, Jane
Published by Franklin Watts, 2019
One of a series of information books for young children (Key Stage 1) with stories of individuals having problems and giving advice on how to cope. This book on divorce and separation tells us about seven children who have different reasons for being concerned about their parents breaking up, reasons such as: feeling left out, not understanding what ‘divorce’ means, being angry, thinking the divorce is their fault, being worried about the changes this will mean, being embarrassed, and feeling responsible. The bright, simple illustrations and clear text add much to the whole, and at the end, a short glossary, some helpful web sites, a brief index, and notes for adults using the book will be useful. One of the plusses in the stories is that parents will also find the advice helpful, and there is also a play-script for use in schools. This is a nicely produced, practical book for both school and home.
