My Family's Changing by Pat Thomas

I think this one is probably best for a slightly older kids set (7-11, if the older kids will tolerate you reading a children's book to them). It really covers a lot of angles- and I can see some parents wanting to skip over parts that they felt weren't necessary ( "sometimes parents say bad things about the other parent or buy lots of presents to make you love them more.") But kids feel and experience so much that parents don't even realize, so probably reading it all and asking the little prompts it has every so often could be valuable. There are also some helpful tips for adults at the back.

This is another good story about divorce with ideas about how to talk to your kids about the topic. It also mentions some inappropriate things parents might do, which was a little different.
