A reassuring and simple story about separation for the very youngest children.

Living with Mum and Living with Dad: My Two Homes tells the story of a little girl whose mum and dad don't live together any more. Sometimes she lives with her mum and her cat, and sometimes she lives with her dad. Despite having two bedrooms and two sets of toys, she always takes her favourite toys with her wherever she goes.

This simple, warm, lift-the-flap book features bold and colourful illustrations, offering a reassuring representation of family separation for the youngest children. Melanie Walsh beautifully captures the changes in routine familiar to many children who live with separate parents yet are loved dearly by both.
