Reviews
Grade 2–4—Murphy addresses these emotionally charged topics in a basic and direct manner. The book defines the terms and explains the differences between separation and divorce. It also covers various emotions and feelings that are often associated with them. The writing is frank yet sensitive enough in its approach and the accompanying full-color photographs effectively illustrate the text. A solid introduction to a tough topic.—Kristen Frey, Rocky River Public Library, OH

This volume from the Tough Topics series introduces the concepts of divorce and separation as they affect children in a family. In addition to explaining the difference between the two terms, Murphy discusses possible outcomes, such as spending time in two households or moving to a new town, as well as common emotional challenges and how to deal with them. Difficulties are acknowledged, but the large-print text encourages maintaining a positive outlook. Illustrated with color photos, the book concludes with a brief glossary and bibliography. A reassuring presentation. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
