This would be a great book to give to a child that is finding itself after their parents divorce or separation, as it covers the emotional side of them learning to cope initially with them having two houses and two routines, one with each parent, through to their parents getting new partners which create new families.

The story is well written, it is easy to follow and understand and has the most perfect illustrations for the story too - Florrie is a great character and I loved the way she was illustrated to capture both her mum and dad in her appearance. The story is great at covering blended families and is a must for school libraries too.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

I heard about this book months ago, and was excited to read it! This is a gorgeous exploration of blended families, the emotions they bring up and how blending families can be a glorious thing! Phil Earle can literally do everything. I adore the illustrations from Jess Rose too!

A young girl tells us her journey of challenges and how she came to appreciate her blended family.
When the tone, visual language and the content are in harmony, you get an excellent children’s book such as this one.
All the sensitive, beautiful and difficult and specific aspects of having changes in familial relationships and having more than one family have been explored with care and in a nuanced way, appropriate for children.
I absolutely loved the artwork too.
