When Dad says that he's moving out, Lily-May feels all upside-down inside. But now Dad comes on Sundays, and they ride their bikes really fast and make secret dens together.

Sometimes, there are tricky moments - Lily-May hates it when Mum has to work late - but a birthday party with Lily-May's big fantastic family helps her realise just how many people love her. This reassuring celebration of non-nuclear families will help children to understand that they will always be loved, even if parents separate or divorce. Beautifully written in rhyme by the award-winning authors of the bestselling George's Amazing Adventures series, this uplifting story with a diverse cast of characters embraces all the positive aspects of becoming part of a blended family after a divorce or separation.

When the moon is a smile / Teena Raffa-Mulligan, Amy Calautti.

Don't go, Daddy! It is the plea that tugs at the heart of every loving father whose child no longer shares his everyday life due to a relationship breakdown. For a young child, accepting how things have changed once parents live apart can be difficult. When Daddy time is occasional instead of constant, saying goodbye for now can be the hardest part of spending time together. In this gentle story about the special bond between a little girl and her father, the fun of sharing a day imagining everyday activities into extraordinary adventures turns to sadness when it is time for him to leave. Tears turn to acceptance with the promise that Daddy will soon return and there is a special way to know when that will be.
