Illustrated by
Kady MacDonald Denton.
Alex offers an intimate tour of his two homes, leaving the reader to assume, though it's never stated, that his parents are divorced. The simple first-person narrative keenly highlights those details important to children of Alex's age, while Denton's warm watercolor illustrations, familiar and rich in detail, extend the reassuring tone.
