Need recs for books on divorce

For kids in the 5-7 age range. Story books that will help him understand that his feelings are normal, and it's not his fault.

Any suggestions?

(posting here cause it's the kids section)

I'd also try the children's librarian at the local public library.

Well, I'd try a doing an online search on amazon or another site and reading reviews to find books most appropriate for your situation, but a few to get you started (and don't forget to check the "see more like this" lists if you look them up):

The best of both nests, written by Jane Clarke; illustrated by Anne Kennedy

Priscilla Twice, by Judith Caseley

Thanks for the recommendations. You've both given me ideas on where to start. Much appreciated.

I don't want to talk about it.
Magination press/ APA
Our local library carries it, so you might wanna check it out.

I used to be a social worker and I used the Self Esteem Shop a lot for books on feelings. They are online. Good luck!!
