My Parents Live in Different Houses is a book designed to help children cope with the living situations that come from a separated or divorced family, an all too common situation in today's society. The goal of the book was to show children that even though it may be very different to go from one house to the other, it can also be fun. This book will be important to young children and parents who are dealing with separation or divorce because it helps children identify the positive aspects of the often difficult transition of traveling between two houses.
