I like this metaphor for memories with the balloons. I think it's another great way to introduce Alzheimer's and memory loss to children.

This book does almost seem a little too nice, but I think that if this is an extreme, it's still a good modeling agent for families about how to best talk to a child about divorce.

It was interesting to read this book and discuss it with my mother, a nurse. She really didn't seem to see why there would be any problem with the tissues, since everything was ethical for its time. I still am struck by the fact that they were taken without consent, and I had no idea that any samples I give to the doctor can be used for anything.

Overall, I like the story better in this one, even if there is one sentence at the end that is worded a little confusingly to me. I do wish it had a bit more of a parents guide to it.

This is a nice balance between some of the others I've read between just a story and having some information for parents.

This was the best one. It's kid-friendly, has text for adults, and, in a pleasant change, the kids live the majority of the time with their dad and see their mom on weekends. It's still clear that both parents love their kids, and it deals with a very realistic fear a lot of kids have that divorce is somehow their fault.

I really liked that this one discussed stepparents. That didn't happen in the other books I've read.

Overall, I really liked this story, especially about making up for your mistakes, but I really disliked the reference to Mama Bear dieting. That isn't really something I want to promote at storytime, which makes me unlikely to read it. They are going to get enough of that message later anyway.

I love the illustrations in this one so much. Just gorgeous.

I really liked this one. I love Gabi and all of her Dads, and how enthusiastic she is and how she can get so many people to do things for her. Sal is a great character, and you learn a lot about Type 1 diabetes. You will also get really hungry for Cuban food. I can't wait to see what other adventures these two get up to.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
