Two Families to Call My Own cover

Florrie lives in two different houses:
One with her mum.
One with her dad.

Now that Florrie is getting used to having two homes, everything feels just right.

But, what happens when Florrie's dad makes a new girl friend... who's not her mum?

A heartening picture book that tackles the tricky emotions that surface when blending families after a separation, while celebrating new connections.

Brought to you by best-selling and award-winning author, of When the Sky Falls and Two Places To Call Home, Phil Earle.
