(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicky Johnston. After Mum’s vase shatters, Frankie’s world begins to change. With Dad gone and Mum staying in bed, Nana takes Frankie to an art gallery, where she discovers a beautiful mosaic made of broken pieces. Frankie learns that when things break, they can be made whole in new ways. Illustrations combining soft colors with gentle, emotive details create comforting visuals. A perceptive look at divorce that highlights art's power to build resilience, shift perspectives, and help process complex emotions.
