Helping children balance that missing feeling after their parents' divorce.
Mia amp rsquo s life feels split in two after her parents get divorced - even her cat and dog now live in two separate places. When she amp rsquo s at her dad amp rsquo s house, Mia misses her mom amp rsquo s jokes and singing. And when she amp rsquo s at her mom amp rsquo s house, she misses her dad amp rsquo s laugh and cooking. Mia just can amp rsquo t quite shake that missing feeling. Sometimes that missing feeling makes her angry. And sometimes it makes her sad.
One day when Mia visits her Grandpa, he gives her a little blue notebook saying, amp ldquo When I write about Grandma, I am sad but I am happy too. She is gone, but you are here. Life changes, and writing helps me think about these changes. My notebook is a home for my heart. amp rdquo Mia keeps her notebook wherever she goes, writing about happy and sad memories. And soon her notebook becomes a way to balance that missing feeling. And also a home for her heart.
