"A must-have for any child who is experiencing a divorce, Papa and Pearl shows the challenges of divorce for a child while still honoring the love and joy they can find in their new normal. Soft illustrations show the struggles of adjusting to a new routine with tenderness and charm. This book is a sweet, fun read for any kid; while it will be particularly poignant for families experiencing divorce, it will also help kids understand what other families may be going through or deal with a variety of changes in their own lives and routines." -- Tracy C. Gold, author of Call Your Mother "Papa and Pearl is a wonderful resource to help children and families understand changes due to divorce. It uncomplicates and draws attention to the value of holding space for one another, as well as the importance of finding meaning in moving forward. As a therapist, this message is greatly appreciated!" -- Kelly Kirkpatrick, licensed clinical professional counselor, Frederick, MD "Papa and Pearl is about a divorced father who models creative solutions to help his daughter, Pearl, learn to manage anxiety, changes, and new situations without her mother present. In the story, Pearl could easily get 'stuck' feeling frustrated when her dress is damaged, but her father fearlessly offers a solution. As a result of her father's modeling of problem-solving skills, Pearl learns to adjust to changes in her life." -- Beth Niedbala, LCSW-C, family therapist, individual therapist, family-based treatment eating disorder therapist, and EAP consultant, Frederick, M
