A preschool-age boy who spends time living with both of his separated parents describes his life with each in a straightforward narrative that accentuates the positive, child-centered details of his life. “I have two favorite chairs. A rocking chair at Daddy’s. A soft chair at Mommy’s.” Both parents clearly love young Alex, who has no doubts about that fact. Soft watercolor, ink, and gouache illustrations accompany the text. (Ages 3–5)

"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.
