A little boy spends the weekend at his dadâs new apartment in this picture book about how things change when parents separate â and the important things that stay the same.
âThis home is home because my dad is here, and itâs nothing like home because my mom isnât here,â thinks the boy in this story when he enters his dadâs new apartment for the first time. His dad moved out on Monday and now itâs Friday night, the start of his weekend with his dad.
The boy and his dad follow their normal weekend routine â they eat eggs for breakfast, play cards and spend time at the park. And then they do the same things on Sunday. It is hard to say goodbye at the end of the weekend, but Dad gives his son a letter to remind him that, even if they canât always be together, the boy is loved.
Naseem Hrab has written a poignant yet hopeful story, strikingly illustrated in Frank Vivaâs signature style, about what happens when parents separate, and the new reality of having two homes.
