Book Descriptions
for Divorce by Fred Rogers and Jim Judkis
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Preschoolers whose parents are divorcing will find reassurance in this photoessay that they will still have a family to help them feel safe, give them food, take care of them and love them. Rogers's low-key statements articulate children's typical concerns with characteristic insight and suggest healthy ways to express the feelings most children experience. Color photographs show three families of differing racial heritages. (Ages 2-5)
