Customer Reviews

New illustrations are brilliant, and uplifting

The book deals with such a serious topic, and I love that it does not pretend to make parents' divorce fun, as every child clearly knows it is not. It is real, but the new illustrations just lighten the mood and feel of the book. I highly recommend it for all families going through separation/divorce. It is aimed at younger children, but even older ones will benefit from this one.

Brilliant new illustrations lifts this classic

Why would the new and old editions of this book - with different illustrators - get exactly the same reviews? Despite the depressing subject the new illustrations in the 2007 edition lifts the book from dark and serious to a level of optimistism and joie de vivre lacking in the previous one. The message is the same and very relevant - even more so now than when it was first published. Living "two lives", one with each parent, does not have to be depressing and negative. This new version brings that message across very clearly.

A Must Read Book For Any Adult or Child of Divorce

If I were to read only one book in the whole world, I would choose "Mom and Dad Don't Live Together Anymore". I was a teenager when my parents divorced, and I felt devestated, like my heart was being ripped in half. I first read this book when I was in my late twenties. I felt so much healing from reading this book, the words on the page allowed me to cry and know that it was o.k. Then towards the end of the book the author gives you a positive way to think and act about your feelings. This book is truely inspirational and has changed my life
