Mum and Dad Glue.

 

This comforting, reassuring picture book will help young children come to terms with divorce and separation.
A little boy tries to find a pot of parent glue to stick his mum and dad back together. His parents have come undone and he wants to mend their marriage, stick their smiles back on and make them better.
But, as he learns, even though his parents' relationship may be broken, their love for him is not.

Author: Kes Gray.

 

Two Homes.

 

 This gently reassuring story focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex’s place in both of them. Whether Alex is with Mummy or Daddy, one thing stays the same: Alex is loved by them both – always. 

Two Homes will help children – and parents – embrace even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic heart.
