Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
This book hits the target well for children going through the
trials of their parents' divorce. Through well placed humor and apt
advice, Julia Cook sets straight several misconceptions children
have about divorce. Parents, through this child-friendly story, are
also put on notice to watch their own responses that can adversely
affect their own children. This is a must read for children, along
with their parents, going through this difficult life changing
event.Kim "Tip" Frank

Divorce
This book is really quite good. I use it a lot in my practice. It's
one of the few divorce books that I've found wherein the parents
don't just seem to get along as well as they did before the
divorce. This book is much more true to kids' experience.C. Blair
