Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Little Fergen's Fish Feelings
Charles M. Iker Β· 2019
74/100
π Worth It
A thoughtful, therapist-authored picture book that gives children experiencing their parents' divorce a gentle mirror for their own confusion and sadness. The underwater animal setting makes difficult emotions feel a little safer to approach, and the solution-oriented framing helps kids feel like they have some agency in adapting. Its appeal is genuinely narrow β if divorce isn't part of a child's current reality, there's little reason to seek this out β but for families who need it, it earns its place.
