Both: The Journey of Sofia Through Her Parent Divorce
Does your child feel torn between two homes?
"We want to talk to you about something."
Eleven-year-old Sofia knew something was wrong all day—she just didn't know one kitchen-table conversation would split her world in two.
Both is a children's divorce book for kids ages 6-12 that follows Sofia as she navigates the feelings no one talks the duffel bag she never packs right, a birthday that needs the planning of a diplomatic summit, and the impossible question everyone keeps asking.
Hardest of all is the feeling Sofia can't say out loud—that loving Mom and Dad has started to feel like a competition. Like keeping her feelings at medium volume so nobody gets more than their share.
Then one Wednesday in May, she picks up a blank notebook and writes the sentence that changes
I have been afraid to love both of them at the same time.
A children's book about divorce that tells the truth.
Helping children through divorce means giving them words for feelings they don't know how to say. Both doesn't promise kids that divorce gets fixed—it shows them something that you don't have to choose, that feelings aren't a competition, and that "not fixed, but okay" is a real place you can get to.
