About the Book
My Mom and Dad Are Getting A Divorce is a healing book about divorce for children 4 to 12 with illustration designed to give young children the information and support they need when going through a divorce. The Appendices offer valuable guidelines and suggestions for parents.
According to the Los Angeles Times book reviewer:
"My Mom and Dad Are Getting A Divorce by Florence Bienenfeld is more than just another
children's book on divorce. It's also a guide for divorcing parents who need help handling the
emotional turmoil that afflicts them as well as the kids. The colorfully illustrated children's
story—an engaging dialogue between a boy and a girl who compare their experiences as children
of divorce—is accompanied by a page-by-page commentary offering sensible advice to parents.
As a result, this modest, unpretentious book amounts to a remarkable resource."
With an emphasis on empowering kids, My Mom and Dad Are Getting A Divorce is timely and pertinent, and is written in a fresh, accessible voice that children and their parents will relate to easily.
