When a family that does things together and appears happy changes, children become confused and bewildered. The change from happiness to sadness and talking to arguing leaves young children wondering if they did something wrong.

This story begins with the young child remembering the good times, being confused about the parents' change in behavior, and concludes with the understanding that the parents are happier living apart and the child realizing that their problems are not her fault.

A beautifully written book for children who have contact with both parents and both parents work together to make their child's life as stable and happy as possible.

Includes an informational section for adults.
