My Heart Doesn't Pick Sides: A Gentle Story for Children Affected by Family Estrangement

When someone you love is no longer part of your everyday life, it can leave behind a lot of big feelings - and even bigger questions. My Heart Doesn't Pick Sides is a gentle reassuring children's book for kids affected by family estrangement, changing relationships, and the absence of someone they still love. Through comforting rhymes and heartfelt illustrations, children are reminded that they are allowed to miss someone, feel angry, ask questions, hold onto memories, and continue loving the people who matter to them - without feeling pressured to choose sides. This story helps children understand that: - They did not cause the separation.- They are not responsible for fixing adult relationships.- More than one feeling can be true at the same time.- Loving someone does not mean taking sides.- Their worth is not determined by another person's choices.- It is okay to keep growing, laughing, remembering, and loving. Perfect for parents, grandparents, counselors, therapists, teachers, foster and adoptive familites, and other trusted adults supporting children through complicated family changes. A comforting reminder for every child who needs to hear: Your heart has room for love, memories, questions, and every feeling in between.
