(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kim Barnes. Following her parents' separation, a young girl grapples with the emotional complexities of living between two homes. Through her father's thoughtful efforts to create new traditions, such as a mermaid-themed picture day, she learns that while life changes, the enduring love and support of family remain constant. Digital illustrations, using an interplay of vignettes, spot art, and full-bleed spreads, convey warmth and emotion. Back matter includes short bios of the author and illustrator and notes to kids and caregivers.
