I think this would be great for preschool ages kids, but not sure it's enough for school aged children. By school age, they realize there are differences between divorced parents' homes, which is what this book does: just names the differences.

A sweet story, geared toward preschoolers, about having two homes as a result of the parents splitting up. The illustrations are bright and engaging, and the text has Mila explaining the differences in her two homes, and how each is special. The thing that is the same at both homes, however, is that both her parents love her very much. I liked that this story emphasized that it's okay to have different routines, different rooms, different pets, etc, and that they can all be good, nothing has to be better than the other, and that it's possible to be happy and have great parents in two different houses. A good way to help very young children understand the situation of divorce and shared custody.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book about a girl who's parent are divorced and so she has two of everything; two beds, two homes, and two parents that love her. This book would be a good book to explain an upcoming separation/divorce in a positive way.

Simple story of a young girl who live week days with her father and week-ends with her mother. Casual divorce story, but it was well done and I think it can be useful to explain divorce to a child, so he can see what is going to happen, how it will work and maybe make him feel more secure about all that, so in that way, this is a good book!
