Well Done!

This book delivered just what it said it would. The author clarified that the book would cover the dual issue of divorce and sexual orientation and this is what it did. She clearly stated that other family configurations do exist. The fact that the book provided perspectives from a wide range of children was particularly helpful.
Good for older kids

I bought this book thinking it would be good for my daughter and my partner's daughter. It has some good writing, but definitely get this for an older teen. The stories weren't really coming from kids my daughter's age (10), so they were harder to relate to for her. Perhaps in a couple years she'll pick it up and give it another try. I love the premise of this book...and I'd like to see something just like it but written from younger kids' perspectives.
It's about time!

I loved this book. I found that it's something so new over the past few years, as far as something that people talk about. We've come so far relative to diversity, acceptance, and sharing our personal stories, that a book like this is a breath of fresh air. I'm happy that it talks about things from a child's perspective, and doesn't try to be too clinical or matter-of-fact. My children loved the book (they're teens....and I'm a gay dad) and it put all of the challenges, blessings, and difficulties into perspective for them. We're all walking a different path, and it's great to see what others (and their children have gone through.

i found the book a good read, but my young daughter has a little trouble with the words not being literacy friendly. she has trouble with adult words (the spelling). otherwise i enjoyed it.
