Two Homes
By Claire Masurel
The Story
A young boy named Alex has two homes now — one with Mommy, one with Daddy — each with its own chair, its own bedroom, its own friends, and the same steady love waiting in both.
Why It's Special
For the child adjusting to life split between two houses, this book says plainly what they need to hear — you belong fully in both places, not half in each.
- Big idea: Love doesn't get divided when a family changes shape — it just shows up in two places instead of one.
- Vibes: Calm, tender, and steady, with warmth instead of worry.
Perfect For Kids Who
- are navigating their parents' separation or divorce
- are working through changes to their family routine
- respond well to reassurance that love stays constant
- like noticing small details in each home's illustrations
