The days of Summer

Kindergartener Jo-Jo and Fourth-Grader Nora are shocked the last week of summer when their parents tell them that Grandma and Grandpa are getting a divorce. They're worried about not seeing either of them again, and other changes that could happen. When the girls visit Grandma's on Sunday, Grandpa isn't there. But they talk to Grandpa on the phone and find out that he'll still be around on holidays, they'll visit him in his new apartment, and he's getting a pet. Read how the author, Eve Bunting, deals with a possibly upsetting family problem. This could be helpful to any children who have to deal with divorce. The colorful illustrations sensitively portray the seriousness of the situation and the whole families' struggle to come to grips with it.
