Review:
Katy lives alone with her dad by the sea, and she is very happy with the way things are. So when her dad brings home a new friend and her little boy, Katy can't understand why they seem to hang around for so long. But then the truth gradually dawns: they are never going to leave because these two strangers are about to become a permanent part of her young life--the woman is dad's new girlfriend.
About the Author:
The Visitors Who Came To Stay is an impressive book that combines the illustrations of the superb Anthony Browne with a sensitive and thought-provoking text by Annalena McAffee and replays a story that is common in households across the world.
As Katy's young, safe world is turned upside down by the arrival of two new people--so she has to share not only her house and her toys with unfamiliar faces, but the man who has loved and raised her for as long as she can remember--the intricacies of the relationships that develop are explored calmly and intuitively and are allowed to progress naturally without hiding any of the pain.
Whether you are looking for a book to explain a similar situation for your child, or just want a great story with stunning illustrations, The Visitors Who Came To Stay is a perceptive book that explains a complicated situation in a way that children of all ages will understand and appreciate. (Age 5 and over)--Susan Harrison
