January 05, 2002: So many children's books about divorce cover just one issue, but this book deals with all the common fears children have. It can be read from cover to cover or simply one chapter at a time. This book gives children examples of ways to talk to grown-ups about their worries. It's also a great book for parents who can see what might worry their children.
