A child recounts how he and his siblings live in their Mama's house some days, and in their Papa's house during the other days. Told from the voice of a child, the book sends the message that children in "two homes" are not different, nor are they loved and nurtured any less by their parents, than children in two-parent homes. "This book is recommended for kids ages 6 to 7 years old."--Page 4 of cover.
