A young boy, Ivan, experiences the early stages of his parents’ separation and finds hope in the beauty and music of nature. This tale of personal growth will provide a much-needed mirror for children in times of change — and an important reminder for all that there’s beauty everywhere you look.
“Appropriately, this isn’t a happily-ever-after story but one that offers affirmation and hope for kids navigating parental separation…Needed everywhere.”
—Kirkus Reviews
.
“No divorce comes without adjustment, the book indicates, but, given time, separate homes need not feel so separate.” —Publishers Weekly
.
“This picture book offers a child’s perspective on separation…A tender book best shared one-on-one.” —School Library Journal
