Breaking up is bad enough for parents but for children it can cause serious worries, often unexpressed. Was it my fault Mum and Dad didn't stay together? Am I lovable enough? Will I see Dad/Mum again? If I ask them nicely will they stay together?For anyone facing a divorce or separation 'Always Be Us Three' offers the perfect way to start the difficult discussion with your child or children. It's short and reassuring so cannot possibly cover all the questions that kids might have. However it creates an atmosphere of love and stability, a jumping off point for showing the child that despite the change in living arrangements, they will still be the focus of both parents attention.The rhyming format makes 'Always Be Us Three' extra accessible and the illustrations are expressive, lively and child friendly. Well done Natalie Finnigan and Gina Rahman.
