About the Book
From acclaimed creators Jessica Young and Chelsea O’Byrne comes a heartening picture book about evolving families and enduring love.
Two parents, one me.
Are we still a family?
Living in two homes can be a big adjustment, but it can also present opportunities for growth. Jessica Young’s poignant story and Chelsea O’Byrne’s tender illustrations offer gentle reassurance to kids navigating separation or divorce and remind us that while families change, love is constant.
Critical Praise
"A separation grows into expanded love... New experiences and traditions are formed, the new home adds a puppy, and the additional physical space creates room to metaphorically grow into... Through love continually shared, the two homes become more and more connected. Brief, rhyming verse flows well across the pages. Though the text is spare, the characters’ love for one another is palpable. The mixed-media illustrations are homey, populating the pages with long-limbed bodies and many cozy details." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The minimalist rhyming text puts the emphasis on the girl’s emotions, while the digital illustrations carry the positive changes over the seasons. Helpful for adults and children alike."?
