Why do children act out during divorce? This is one of the many important topics I cover in my children's book, 'We Need to Talk About Divorce.'

A 3rd Starred review, as well as a special feature in the curated “Editor's Picks" list —both from The Children's Book Review. I'm especially excited about this one, as they have a global reach to school libraries and children's book retailers, plus thousands of parents, teachers and young readers. So, lots more books in the hands of kids and families who need it. That's the goal!

Written by a psychotherapist with personal and professional insight, this book offers practical advice to help young readers understand and cope with divorce.

Honored (and, frankly, floored) to receive a starred review from School Library Journal, the premier publication for school librarians, public libraries and media specialists who work with children.

Another 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review!

I wrote this book for the children of divorce—and their families—that I’ve worked with over the years, and also for the child of divorce inside myself. I drew from both my professional and personal experience. I know firsthand that when you’re going through this painful transition, you need to be deeply understood as well as given helpful advice and strategies for coping with all the complex feelings and challenges you’re facing. This book gives you both.

A 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review that highlights the importance of inclusivity.

I want all readers to feel seen and cared about—to know that this book is for and about them. So, the illustrator and I worked hard to represent diversity in many forms, including race, gender, sexual orientation, body type, physical ability, cultural and religious beliefs, financial resources, family dynamics, and family configuration.
