Little Miss Linda Copes with Divorce (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955316538)

All too often, more than we want to talk about it, divorce is a reality in many of young children's lives. However, helping them to cope with this reality is something that is greatly needed.

This book, Little Miss Linda Learns to Cope with Divorce, is a gentle way to engage young children in a healthy dialogue about the emotional scares that a divorce can have on them.

Additionally, this book allows children to have open and honest conversations about what they are feeling and thinking, while also allowing them the ability to ask questions they may not otherwise ask.

The "We Love You Jar," along with the questions, are wonderful activities to engage children in sharing their emotions around parents who are divorcing or who have divorced.

Little Miss Linda Copes with Divorce is a children's picture book written by Linda J.M. Holloway and illustrated by Cameron Wilson. The story follows Linda, a little girl whose parents are going through a divorce. Linda notices the small changes that indicate her parents' marriage is falling apart, such as their lack of affection toward each other and not spending time together at home. One day, her parents sit her down and explain that they are getting a divorce. They reassure her that it is not her fault and that they will continue to be present in her life and love her. Linda's parents help her create a We Love You Jar, where she can place any questions she has about her parents' separation and what it means for her future.

Little Miss Linda Copes with Divorce is a touching and helpful book that offers valuable insight into how children can cope with the challenges of divorce. The story focuses on the emotional impact of divorce on a child and how parents can support them through the process. It is essential for children to feel reassured and loved during such difficult times, and Linda J.M. Holloway provides a valuable perspective on dealing with divorce from a child's point of view.
