MUM AND DAD GLUE

by Kes Gray and Lee Wildish

Hodder Children's Books, hardback, £10.99

A little boy starts his desperate search for a pot of glue to stick his divorcing parents back together again. But after some kindly adult advice, he comes to realise that even though his parents' marriage may be broken, their love for him is not.

This is an excellent book aimed squarely at young children struggling with their parents' separation. It covers the child's turmoil with sympathy, and while offering reassurance about a parent's love, it gives no false hope of reconciliation and instead slowly moves the child towards realising that 'there's no glue for hearts'.
