I Don't Want to Talk About It: A Story About Divorce for Young Children

by Jeanie Franz Ransom, illustrated by Kathryn Kunz Finney - £10.95  Magination Press (2000)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781557987037 | ISBN 10: 1557987033

When a child's parents tell her they have decided to divorce, the last thing she wants to do is talk about it. Instead, she wants to roar as loud as a lion so she can't hear their painful words, or turn into a fish and hide her tears in the sea, or even become a bird and fly away. But with her mother and father's help, she starts to consider what life will be like after divorce and learns that although some things will change, many other things will remain the same. Most importantly, she realizes that although her parents may not agree about much, one thing they do agree on is that they both love her very much and will always be her mom and dad.
 
I Don't Want To Talk About It features a comprehensive afterword that describes children's common reactions to divorce and offers parents suggestions for helping their own children adjust and thrive.
