"Parents looking for a book about separation or divorce will find few offerings as positive, matter-of-fact, or child-centered as this one. . . . Simple, yet profoundly satisfying." — Booklist (starred review) At Mommy’s house, Alex has a soft chair. At Daddy’s house, Alex has a rocking chair. In each home, Alex also has a special bedroom and lots of friends to play with. But whether Alex is with Mommy or with Daddy, one thing always stays the same — Alex is loved. The gently reassuring text 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. Two Homes will help children — and parents — embrace even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic heart.

A must for a child experiencing divorce.
This is a warm, reassuring book that gently helps children understand they can feel safe, loved, and supported while living in two homes. It’s concise, easy to follow, and uses uplifting language that normalizes family changes without minimizing a child’s feelings. A thoughtful and practical resource for children navigating divorce or separation. I'll share it in our private practice.

I am a divorce lawyer. This is the best book I have found that emphasizes the normalcy of having a home in two places. Both parents are supported. It reinforces that there is a similar situation at both homes. For example, I have a toothbrush at mommy’s. I have a toothbrush at daddy’s. So good

Positive approach to difficult subject matter
"Two Homes" was on my Amazon wish list for a while, and now that my son is about to start overnights with his father, I bought this book. "Two Homes" takes a positive, sensitive approach to helping children (and parents) frame a time of transition, which can disrupt even the most emotionally regulated children, in a positive (but not Pollyanna-ish) light. It is so important for kids to know that they are deeply loved in both homes. Thiis book assures them of that in simple terms even very young children can comprehend. Children can often feel like they have no home rather than two homes, so I think it's important to reinforce their place in each household, which this book does.

A simple and clear message.
This wasn't an inspired classic or anything, just a simple, comforting recitation of the nature of two parent homes - (daddy loves you at Daddy's house, mommy loves you at Mommy's house, you have toys here, you have toys there, etc) I thought the illustrations were on the ugly side of cute.

This is the perfect book in a time of transition
With a friend going through divorce this book has been helpful for the children to see the new reality of a home with mom and a home with dad. No judgement in this book. At all. Just pictures and text showing 2 parents that love their kids, each having a different house and life for their kids.This book has helped and will continue to help a small person feel that there is a place for them that includes both parents, 2 people that will be there to take care of them and love them.

pour parler du divorce
en anglais mais il semble que la traduction existe maintenant: pour parler du divorce simplement pour les enfants dès quatre ans. voire trois ans.

Delicadeza y sensibilidad
Este libro es un verdadero tesoro para familias o para abordar en el aula una separación o un divorcio. Con una delicadeza y sensibilidad maravillosas, "Two Homes" aborda un tema difícil y lo convierte en algo comprensible y, lo más importante, lleno de amor.La historia de Alex, que tiene una casa con mamá y una casa con papá, nos muestra de una forma muy visual y reconfortante que, aunque los espacios y los objetos sean diferentes en cada lugar, el amor de ambos padres es constante. Es una narración que no se centra en lo que se pierde, sino en lo que se gana: el tener dos hogares llenos de cariño. Las ilustraciones son preciosas y ayudan a los niños a entender que su lugar está en ambos sitios.
