The book I’m Lucky to Have My Parents tells the story of a child who is coping with the complex life situation of her parents’ separating. Its main message is that communication and honesty are extremely important in the process of acceptance. The story transitions from warm to cold colours and nuances, but ends again with light, showing how a child in a family of separated parents can feel safe and loved. And be happy again. This book can help children feel less lonely and better prepared to cope with the changes that come with a separation. But at the same time, it’s also a book for children who live in happily united families, because it teaches understanding and acceptance of their peers who come from families of separated parents.
