Divorce is not fun. Being the child of a divorce is hard. You feel guilty, you blame yourself, you just want your family to be a family again.

My Stick Family - Helping Children Cope With Divorce is a book every child of divorce should read.

It's the simple story of Billy, a young "stick" boy going through the divorce of his parents, along with his brother Alec.

Although hurt, sad and confused, Billy soon learns that he is not alone, that other kids like him are going through the same thing.

He also learns that just because you don't live with both parents your family is still your family and your parents still love you.

The book emphasizes and reaffirms the strength and constancy of love for the children within the family... even after a marriage ends.

If your family is going through a divorce this book will help you understand why you are feeling the way you are and perhaps help you get through the challenging times.

Note To Parents: This book is perfect for young children of divorce. If you are having a tough time explaining the changes to your children, this easy to read and nicely illustrated book will help explore their feelings.
