The Divorced Land of Sam's

Separation and divorce can be riddled with trauma and filled with anxiety, especially for young children. This book uses rhyme and rhythm to de-escalate the separation and divorce experience of youth. It provides a positive perspective on new family dynamics for children, while not running from the fact that their parents will no longer reside together, changing the family structure they once knew. It emphasizes adapting to change, creating new memories, and embracing love from both parental units as children nestle into their new normal at the different homes of their parents. In a special faraway land live a group of girls and boys all named Sam. The Sams have two of everything-two hats, two gloves, two sleds, and two homes-because their mommies and daddies live apart. Having two homes can be hard, but the Sams know that their mommies and daddies love them very much. This book teaches children of separated and divorced parents how to adapt to change, create new memories, and embrace love from both parental units.
