"A must-have for any child who is experiencing a divorce, Papa and Pearl shows the challenges of divorce for a child while still honoring the love and joy they can find in their new normal. Soft illustrations show the struggles of adjusting to a new routine with tenderness and charm. This book is a sweet, fun read for any kid; while it will be particularly poignant for families experiencing divorce, it will also help kids understand what other families may be going through or deal with a variety of changes in their own lives and routines."
