A beautifully illustrated story about dealing with divorce and separation, to offer comfort and reassurance to young children.

When Poppy and Robin's parents separate, everything starts to change around them. They soon have two homes, different routines and big mixed up feelings.

But as family life begins to take new shape, the siblings discover that even the biggest changes in life get easier, and happiness can grow again, if you take it one day at a time...
