Very well written and well-illustrated."

"As a co-parenting education advocate, I highly recommend that all separating parents use When Your Parents Divorce as one of the tools to help their children better understand and cope with the dynamics of a most confusing and difficult time. The book should also be in libraries as well as the offices of counselors, therapists, school teachers and family law attorneys. The book describes all possible outcomes in language and illustrations that children can relate to and includes areas for children to make valuable and important reflections of their own. I have added When Your Parents Divorce to the recommended reading list that I give to all parents who contact me for help and advice."
