What Can I Do?: A Book for Children of Divorce

"Rosie tries everything to keep her parents together: She cleans the house, gets good grades, and offers her piggy bank money. When her parents split anyway, a confused and sad Rosie joins a support group for kids from divorced families who show her that life can be happy."--Parents.com

When Rosie's parents decide to divorce, she tries being her happiest self, giving them her money, cleaning the house, making better grades--anything to keep them together. But none of her plans works. Rosie ends up feeling sad, frustrated, confused, and angry. What can she do? With some help, she realizes that she can't fix the divorce but she can do things that help her feel better.

What Can I Do? goes beyond "It's not your fault" and offers kids real solutions and resources for dealing with the hard questions and feelings they face when parents divorce.
