Living with Mom and Living with Dad

I got this for my daughter since her dad and I are no longer living together and I think it was a super helpful visual for her. It also gave her a chance to see another kid with separated parents and that it’s ok. She enjoyed the book and she does like having two of everything.

First book about separation that was age appropriate for my 1.5 year old. It was really well written and kept the baby engaged. I especially love that the dad lives at the top of the apt building bc her dad does! So sweet!

I will buy this book again and again. I'll buy it for someone else. I'll buy it for the classroom. It has helped my autistic daughter get through divorce with mom and dad. Sometimes she cried. I think it settled in as we read because there's a part that said "if i miss my dad i can call on the phone" Sometimes she would cry but soon enough as we continued reading it was like she understood.... I truly believe this book helped my daughter grasp something so complex and I feel bad that I didn't buy it at the beginning of our divorce but then again I'm glad she had and still has this book. Every once in a while she'll pull it out and we'll read some of it and she'll flip through all the pages and then she's okay. I feel like this book helped her to be... okay. I'm so thankful.Many many thanks to the author. Many.🌸🏵🌸🌻🌻🌻🌞

I searched for days to find the perfect books for my kids since I recently went through a divorce. I am so glad I purchased this one for my 5—and 7-year-old. My daughter wants me to read it to her at least once a week. Children's books (along with therapy) have helped my children a lot during this transition.

Nice book

So perfect for my 3.5 year old daughter. Getting used to 2 homes was an adjustment and this book helped explain things in her terms and she loves it. We read daily

This book was referred to me by a family friend who is aware of my current situation. It has been such a huge help for my 3 year old son who doesn't know how to understand why his world is changing. Just one more little thing to help him where he is at and I'm so grateful.

This book is very simple and straightforward; it simply lists some differences between living with mommy and living with daddy in an uplifting manner without actually addressing the reasons why there might be two homes. (mommy's house has yellow paint in my room, daddy's house has flowery wallpaper in my room; both houses have a nightlight for me, etc.) The book at the end addresses that no matter the differences between the two houses or which parent the child is with, mommy and daddy love the child no matter which house they are at. It is a great book to normalize the concept of having two homes for the child, especially for very young children who do not really understand the concept of divorce.
