Every child is bound to experience difficult events as they grows up: a family member becoming ill or passing away; a divorce or separation; a move that takes them away from the familiar comfort of home.
When complex situations arise before a child develops the ability to express emotions, books can help children feel less alone and more at ease with feelings like anger, frustration, or sadness. While a book can’t make everything better, stories often provide a great way to connect with children and help discuss difficult topics. This book list includes a number of great children's book that deal with adoption, divorce, separation, and other family change events.
