Useful for encouraging discussion

I bought this book for my 9 year old grand-daughter whose parents have recently separated. I particularly liked the question/discussion prompts and found it a useful tool for encouraging my grand-daughter to talk about her feelings about her situation. I also liked the fact that it covers a longer period of time after an immediate separation, so is able to explore other situations that might arise after the initial one. A really useful book!

It says it so well

When you drop the D-bomb on your kids there is an empty silence that this book managed to fill. We were able to move on from that hideous conversation to a simple story about a bear who didn't understand either. I was able to point to pictures of how I felt and she pointed to pictures of how she felt too. Dad was able to get involved too and we were able to express our sadness as a family. This was happening to all of us. If you're considering buying this book, may I say how sorry I am that this has happened to you too.

Great for talking about feelings.

A great book to introduce divorce to a child whose parents have split. Heartbreaking to have to read this book to my granddaughter but it helped us to discuss a day when feelings could be talked about and checked like Koko bear does. Mama bear in the first page looks a bit masculine and it made it hard for her to decipher which one was which but later on Mama bear is in a skirt.

Well used

Bought this book a few years ago now and have referred to it many a time when working with children experiencing separation/divorce. The reason I am writing this review now is that i am having to re-purchase it bacause ive lent our copy out to a parent, cant remember who and feel lost without it. Hadn't used it for a while but needed it the other day - got to get another one and will be making a note when it gets taken home. Would definitely recommend

A great help

This has really helped us during a difficult time. I did change the word 'divorce' in the story as this wouldn't mean anything to my 4 year old. I just said separating instead as he would understand that. I thought it might be a little old for my son but it wasn't. We've read it several times. For those looking for books along these lines 'two homes' was great

A Long Read

I would recommend this book to children over the age of 6. It has lovely illustrations throughout however not really suitable for children under 6 as it does go on quite a bit and they soon get bored!

Good for 5-7 age bracket

Good book but a little too informative for my 4 year old. Great for my 6 year old but he found it difficult to relate to a bear and asked why it's not a boy

a lovely read

rating i chose because it deserves it.i chose this book for my children to give a better understanding to their personal plight.it gave them a better understanding in their little world of how they view this in their minds.i would strongly recommend any family going through the situation of a parent leaving the home to give their child this book to read and to read it themselves also.
