KoKo,
a loveable unisex bear, must learn what divorce means. Children
can identify with KoKo's angry and sad feelings, recognize that
these feelings are natural, and discover what it means to live in
a family apart. Many helpful messages are conveyed with warmth and
even a bit of humor through the colorful illustrations created by
Jane Prince.
Parents
are encouraged to allow children to carry this book between homes
to be read with each parent, reinforcing its mesage when heard from
both parents. Each page contains practical tips for parents to help
them make the divorce transition easier.
This
book is written for children whose parents both intend to stay involved
in parenting after divorce.
Written for children ages 3 to 8.

excerpted from the
book:
•
Children need to hear age-appropriate reasons for your divorce.
They do not need to hear about your anger or your blame.
•
Crying
is not a sign of weakness for a child—or a parent. Leaving
or being left by someone you love hurts and crying is an honest
and natural reaction to feeling sad.
•
Keep in mind that every probem or difficulty your child has is not
necessarily related to your divorce.
•
Shared parenting will have glitches. Don't let that be your excuse
for thinking it isn't working. Time smooths out most problems, but
shared parenting—like life—is never perfect.
