Divorcing . . .But Always Your Mum and Dad

This full coloured, illustrated story book tells of the roller coaster emotional journeys of Royce, aged ten, and his nine-year-old sister, Deloyce, whose parents announce plans to separate and eventually divorce. The story addresses a number of issues in an amusing, age appropriate, reassuring style. The main focus is on the reactions of the young people to their parents decision and the period of time leading up to the day when, by parental agreement, Dad leaves the family home and moves into an apartment. The children call this day of departure M-day (Move day). Readers are assisted by a friendly guide called Cody who invents a clever word and provides information within each of the chapters plus a mind tingling brainteaser at the end of the story. Deloyce and Royce fear M-day and readers accompany them as they try to cope with unexpected thoughts, feelings, and experiences plus some weird but funny adventures.
