Weekends with Dad: What to Expect When Your Parents Divorce
by Melissa Higgins, Wednesday Kirwan
Age: 4-8 years
For a younger age, the illustrator chose animals to depict the earlier stages of divorce from the perspective of a cub fox. From separation to divorce to a year later, the cub experienced several emotions including guilt, depression, jealousy, solitude, and anger. Although the cub had a hard time adjusting, he soon found out that he wasn't alone. He then began to ask questions of fellow kids and his parents, venting some of his confusing emotions.
The child's narration is paired with statistical information and reassurance regarding this very complicated event in a child's life. In some ways, this information can help parents see a child's perspective and can open up conversation between the child and parents.
