Is It My Fault? is a gentle, rhyming children's book that helps young children understand parental separation in a safe, reassuring, and age-appropriate way.
Told from the perspective of a seven-year-old and written in third person, this story supports children whose parents are already separated or separating. It addresses common worries, Did I cause this? Will things ever feel okay? and reminds children that family changes are never their fault.
With comforting language and emotional honesty, the book helps children:
- Understand big feelings after divorce or separation
- Feel reassured that they are loved and safe
- Learn that it's okay to feel sad, confused, or even happy
- See that families can change and still be full of love
Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, this book is a supportive resource for parents, caregivers, therapists, teachers, and councellors looking for a children's book about divorce, separation, blended families, and emotional well-being.
Because when families change, children still need reassurance, honesty, and love.
From the author:Bedtimes have always been one of the most important times I share with my children. It's the time when they feel safe enough to ask the biggest questions - the ones they don't always know how to say out loud, and it's also the time that reading a story brings us together.
This book was created to help explain to my children what the adults were going through, in a way they could understand, without fear or blame. Most importantly, it was written to make sure reassurance stayed at the heart of the conversation, so they know they are loved, safe, and never responsible for adult problems.
My hope is that this story helps families talk, listen, and read together - one page at a time.
