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

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