I Live in Two Homes: Adjusting to Divorce and Remarriage
by Sheila Stewart, Rae Simons
Age: 2nd-4th grade
Half fiction, half nonfiction, this series book (Kids Have Troubles Too) gives a quick overview of confusion, acceptance, and child empowerment in the process of a divorce and remarriage. Although the text is short and simplified, a younger child can read it by themselves. This is important for such a personal subject.
The fiction story follows Celeste, her father's remarriage, and their growing family--including a step-sister. The step-mother and step-sister were not demonized, although the step-sister was conflicted and confused, just like Celeste. The resolution was somewhat unrealistic when a simple "sorry" and mutual understanding was exchanged between the two girls. This may frustrate a reader if they try and fail.
