Every Second Friday order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Kiri Lightfoot (Illustrated by Ben Galbraith)
In Stock: 2
Every second Friday, Margi and Totty go and stay at Dad's house where they get magnificently muddy, worryingly wet and mind-blowingly messy. But they always have fun.
A fun, reassuring picture book for children and parents to share.

Every Second Friday is a light-hearted and reassuring look at the way in which one family copes with this situation. It's based on the authors own childhood experiences when her parents separated.

For any child who is in this situation this could be just the reassurance that they need. Their parents will still love them and they will still be able to have fun with both of them. The text is wonderfully easy to read and a joy to read aloud. Illustrations by Ben Galbraith are quirky and fun.

Ages three and up.

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Jeanie Franz Ransom

When a child's parents tell her they have decided to divorce, the last thing she wants to do is talk about it.

Instead, she wants to roar like a lion so she can't hear their painful words, or turn into a fish and hide her tears in the sea, or even become a bird and fly away. But with her parents' help, she learns that while some things will change, many other things, especially their love for her, will remain the same.

In A Note to Parents, Philip Stahl, PhD, a psychologist specializing in divorce and custody issues, explains children's common reactions to divorce and offers parents suggestions for helping their children adjust to the changes in ways that are healthy and positive.
