A sweet story of the love between father and daughter that stays constant, even through big change.

Pearl loves imagining she is a princess, with Mama and Papa in their magical castle . . . until Mama and Papa get a divorce, and Papa moves away. The story starts when Pearl spends her first day at Papa's new place and it's the opposite of magical when he has to get her ready for picture day. Everything is just too . . . different. But Pearl and Papa learn that different can be okay, and even special.

Papa and Pearl explores a fresh perspective on divorce, focusing on the strength of the father-daughter relationship, not the divorce itself. Imaginative and captivating, Papa and Pearl draw young readers into their world of pirates, princesses, and mermaids, and the love between father and daughter that doesn't change even when other things do.
Age Focus: 4-8. Hardcover, 36 pgs.

"A must-have for any child who is experiencing a divorce, Papa and Pearl shows the challenges of divorce for a child while still honoring the love and joy they can find in their new normal. Soft illustrations show the struggles of adjusting to a new routine with tenderness and charm. This book is a sweet, fun read for any kid; while it will be particularly poignant for families experiencing divorce, it will also help kids understand what other families may be going through or deal with a variety of changes in their own lives and routines." —Tracy C. Gold, author of Call Your Mother
