At Daddy's on Saturday by Linda Walvoord Girard Illustrations by Judith Friedman

I used this book in a text about transitions and when I read it the book provoked an emotional response and I knew I had to blog about it. At first glance the book looks a little cheesy, the cover is a violet color and the illustrations are dull. The colors used are dull and pastel. The illustrations seem very 1980's which make sense because the the book was published in 1987.
I did not look this book because of it's illustrations though it was the story that really moved me. Like the title might indicate this story is about a girl whose parents are divorced and she spends Saturday with her father. I felt that the writing was very heartfelt. I was moved when the girl talked about how she was afraid her father did not love her anymore and that he would leave her. This is a concern that many children have when their parents get divorced and this book talks about that concern in a way that children would understand. I would recommend this book as a good book on the topic of divorce. Even though this book was written in 1987 it is such a sensitive topic today and this book addresses it tastefully and so chlorine can understand. It will definitely help get questions answered and conversations started.
