Childrens book by local author Corinn Reinhard explores divorce through a kids perspective
"My Brother Has Two Houses," authored by Corinn Reinhard, offers a heartfelt narrative about a young girl coping with her brother's visits to their father's house. The book simplifies complex themes of divorce and shared custody, making them accessible for children. Reinhard underscores the need for parents to communicate openly about adult relationship changes, as children are perceptive and need their emotions acknowledged. She believes that literature reflecting diverse family forms can provide comfort and understanding during challenging times. The book reading is scheduled for July 19 at Paper Boat Bookstore in West Seattle, where Reinhard hopes to connect with her audience.
She emphasizes that her story is relevant to all children, not just those in blended families, promoting empathy and kindness. By addressing real-life experiences, Reinhard aims to equip children with tools to navigate their emotions and understand others. Ultimately, her work seeks to create a more compassionate world for young readers.
