It has the usual message that Mum and Dad still love the little boy ... but its key meaning is something more than that. This book shows how the strength to come to terms with a divorce is within the child and not dependent on the love of the parents. This is an important message for a child to learn at any age and in any circumstance * INIS *
An excellent book aimed squarely at young children * Nursery World *
Stunning ... resonates with empathy and poignancy * Junior *
Insightful and at times heartbreaking view of separation from a child's perspective that will offer reassurance to anyone going through this process * Evening Echo *

The artwork is engaging, the text has subtle rhythms and rhymes * School Librarian *
Essential reading for any family going through a separation * Angels & Urchins *
"An incredibly powerful book about a boy coming to terms with his parents' divorce: a difficult subject treated with a wonderfully light touch. I'm a huge Lee Wildish fan and think he's definitely a name to watch for the future. I defy you to read this without a lump in your throat." * Kate Skipper, Waterstones Buyer *
Lee Wildish's illustrations are lovely. The characters have a rough charm that really draws you in - there are hints of Quentin Blake's ink drawings, but Wildish's style is very much of its own. * Bookbag *
