Age: 3-5 years

Soft and calming images accompany an uncertain time in a child's life when Oliver's parents separate and Oliver becomes disengaged from his world. Soon, it comes to pass as he enjoys his new school and helps a new student adjust to her changing world.

A great story to be read out loud, where the author inserts familiar events and different ways a child can adjust to an uncertain time. However, the story and the pictures do not address the same age group. From the pictures of a young child attached to his stuffed animal and the soft, pastel world, you would imagine the audience is 3-5 years. But there needs to be a lot of inductive reasoning, suitable for an older child. Because some things are left to be assumed, a child may not understand the story.
