I have two homes
Marian De Smet
- Reading
- Read together at an unhurried pace, pausing for the child to respond to Nina’s feelings. Let them lead on any personal comparisons rather than assuming the story matches their family.
- Themes
- Love across two homes: Nina lives sometimes with her mother and sometimes with her father, and knows both parents love her. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- Parental separation is central, and Nina feels confused; she also finds some adult behaviour upsetting. These feelings may invite a gentle check-in while reading.
