Summary: A heart-touching, powerful, and highly recommended story
Comment: On The Day His Daddy Left is a very moving picture book about the sensitive subject of divorce by Eric and Kathleen Adams. A young boy must come to terms with the day his father leaves the house. He must become used to seeing his father only at certain times of the week, and a question wracks him - "Is it my fault?" A heart-touching, powerful, and highly recommended story about adjusting to traumatic change, On The Day His Daddy Left is realistically illustrated by the artwork of Layne Johnson and an important addition to school library, community library, and family counseling collections.

Summary: Excellent tool for therapists and parents....
Comment: Deals with the primary question for children: "Is it my fault that my parents are divorcing?" However, children often don't know how to express this concern and this book assists in opening a discussion about their feelings. Additionally, it can be read over and over especially during the first few months that children are learning to cope.

It also provides parents with positive models for how to respond compassionately to their children.

Summary: Perfect Balance of Realism and Sensitivity
Comment: What a wonderful resource for parents, teachers, and counselors! I have not seen a better book for younger children on the pain and confusion of divorce. The text is clear and compelling, and easy to understand without being "written down" to its audience. The question "Whose fault is it?" is one that many children struggle with, and the authors treat the issue in a way that is caring and reassuring, yet very realistic. Beautifully illustrated, it speaks to children who are experiencing divorce as well as those who want to understand what their friends or relatives are feeling. Family therapists should also really appreciate this book. Great job!
