We Need to Talk About Divorce by Kate Scharff

#katescharff #NetGalley

Not every relationship lasts. When kids are involved, these endings can be upsetting and difficult. They often feel alone, embarrassed, like no one understands. The author of this book (herself a child of divorce who became a therapist), does, and tries to offer kids some understanding and tips in these pages.

This book consists of many short sections. Some of these include This is so unfair!; Finding out; It’s not your fault; Money stuff; and, They’re still both your parents, among others. Each section is illustrated as well. The page layouts are appealing in their appearance.

A child can read this book on their own and may, indeed, even want to. I suggest, though, that a trusted adult offer them the opportunity to talk and share reactions and feelings. That just might help a bit.

This book is a good resource for a troubling time.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Publishing Group-McMillan for this title. All opinions are my own.
