As any family going through divorce knows, talking to your kids about divorce is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. What do you say? How do you even start the conversation? This book is written just for that. Exemplified in this tender and well-written book, you start that tough conversation in a meaningful and simple way that young children can understand. In this sweet and beautifully illustrated story, two brothers learn that sometimes two things you love just aren't good together. Family change is never easy, and neither are the conversations it'll require you to have with your children.

The author does a fantastic job helping kids understand why their parents are getting divorced. Elyse focuses on the children and how important they are to their parents, even though they themselves are not right together. I think that kids that are questioning why their parents are getting divorced can really benefit from the concepts the author writes. A few examples are: "sometimes, people or things are better...not together" and "But no matter what, different or the same, Mommy and Daddy still love you...exactly just the same". The illustrations in the book are just stunning. As a mom who has a child inquiring about a friend whose parents are getting divorced, I feel that this book is a great guideline for helping my child better understand why some kids don't live with both their parents. Meatballs and Peanut Butter is a must buy for all!
Reality is always hard to face, especially for children. It's a tough lesson in many modern families today.The great illustration makes the difficult subject matter easy to taste,....just like the meatballs & peanut butter.
Resources for a soon to be single Dad seem to be in short supply, so finding this book was such a nice relief and made it easier to explain our situation to my little ones. It was very accessible to them and easy for their little brains to comprehend their new dynamic.
We bought this book for our cousin who is going through a divorce with a 3 year old. She's too young to really know what is happening, except that mommy and daddy aren't together all the time anymore. As a child of divorced parents, and unfortunately a friend to a number of parents who have, or are going through a divorce, the author found a light hearted, and easily relatable way to deal with a difficult subject. Kudos.
Simple, positive language helps young ones feel secure in a time of significant change. Beautifully illustrated and a touching story to which many kids will relate.
