I Am Divorced…But I'm Still Me - A Child's View of Divorce

Nick is a child telling the story of how his world changes as a result of his parents’ divorce. Nick, like other children going through divorce, experiences an emotional rollercoaster.  He is confused, sad and angry.  He feels alone and ashamed. He is dealing with many changes — new homes, different schedules, and now, he travels back and forth from his mom’s home to his dad’s home.  Initially, Nick’s parents are upset and going through their own struggles.  Later, they realize the divorce is impacting Nick, and the family begins to communicate.  


This book mirrors children’s experience of divorce through powerful illustrations and words.   By mirroring what children are feeling and facing, it helps them communicate about their own divorce.  Reading this book gives parents the tools to open a dialog to help their children.   Talking about divorce allows parents and children to move forward and begin healing.
