That all changed when his parents told him that they were getting a D…D…D… The D Word he cant even say it! At first Otis blames himself.

With the help of his Gram, Otis discovers the reasons why people get divorced. He also learns about the Three Cs of Divorce:

• I cannot CONTROL it.
• I’m going to have to learn to COPE with it.

This book helps parents as well as kids deal with divorce, and it includes a helpful list of “Divorce Survival Tips for Good Parents.”
