Synopsis:

Young children become confused and hurt when their parents constantly argue, then decide to divorce. This sensitively written book assures boys and girls that children are in no way responsible for their parents' inability to get along together. It lets kids know that although one parent chooses to move away from the home, both parents continue to love their little boy or girl. Both Mom and Dad will continue to spend happy times with them. Even very young children have concerns and anxieties, and Let's Talk About It! books are written and illustrated especially for them. Parents are advised to read these books aloud while their preschooler listens and looks at illustrations of the boys and girls in each story. Many children in early grades will be able to read the stories for themselves. Let's Talk About It! encourage children to explore their feelings, and then to speak openly about things that trouble them. Both of these brand-new, color-illustrated titles are available in a choice of English or Spanish language editions. (Ages 4–7)

Let's Talk About It!

When My Parents Forgot How to Be Friends

My parents used to be friends and I was happy. We did everything together.

Then things started changing.

My parents were always sad, and when they talked it was only to argue.

I used to think it was my fault that my parents weren't friends any longer . . . but now I understand that they can get along better if they each live in a different house.

Whatever happens, my Mom and Dad will never stop being my parents . . .

and best of all . . .

they will always love me.
