and my family is more precious than gold.

As you may have guessed,
there is something that sets my family apart.
My stick parents are divorced and, as their son,
that breaks my kid-size heart.
and my family is more precious than gold.
I will love my family forever,
even when I am one hundred years old.
As you may have guessed,
there is something that sets my family apart.
My stick parents are divorced and, as their son,
that breaks my kid-size heart.
Billy feels angry, confused and sad. His parents don't live together anymore -- they have divorced. His deepest wish is for all of them -- Mom, Dad and little brother, Alec -- to live together as a family again.
In this tender story, simply and charmingly illustrated, Billy learns that just because his parents live in separate houses, it doesn't mean that the strength and love of a family has been taken from him. Billy discovers what matters most is the love for each other that lives inside our hearts.
This is an important tool for parents, educators and therapists who are trying to find comforting messages to help children cope during the sad and confusing time in their lives when their parents are divorcing. The book emphasizes and reaffirms the resilience and constancy of love for the children within the family, even after a marriage ends.
