A Song for Two Homes [Hardcover]

From  the New York Times Bestselling author of Raising Fences and the  award-winning illustrator of Mama Africa!, comes a moving and lyrical picture book  about a girl navigating her parents' divorce, featuring a Black family, two homes, and whole lot of love.

Auset's parents tell her the divorce wasn't her fault, but she got split in two too. Now she has two homes, two rooms, two Christmases, and two birthday parties. It's tough to deal with her parents' divorce, but at least she has the songs of Sweet Honey and the Rock and Bob Marley to help her through. Plus, she has her therapist, and her stuffed animal Dolphie the Dolphin, who is an excellent listener.

With two loving parents doing their best, here is a look at Black families, divorce, and how difficult it is for kids to go through. But with time and support, and everyone doing their best to keep it real, there's healing and strength on the other side.A CCBC Choices List Selection!
