When a Family Lives in Two Homes
A gentle, reassuring story for children whose parents live apart.
When parents separate, a child’s world can suddenly feel different. New homes, changing routines, and time spent with each parent can bring questions, worry, and uncertainty. My Family Lives Apart helps families begin honest, age-appropriate conversations about those changes while reassuring children that even when parents no longer live together, they are still loved and still part of a family.

Keep the Conversation Going
The coloring pages and activities give children another way to explore the ideas introduced in the story. They help keep the conversation going through simple, age-appropriate activities that encourage children to think, create, ask questions, and share what they are feeling.
Use them alongside the story or afterward at home, in classrooms, counseling sessions, churches, or other settings where children and adults can continue the conversation together.
