부부가 이혼하면 그 사이에서 어린 아이는 심리적으로 커다란 혼란을 겪을 수 있습니다. 또한 급격하게 변한 생활 환경에 잘 적응하지 못해서 결국 성장과정에 부정적인 영향을 끼칠 수도 있습니다. 하지만 이 책은 비록 부부는 이혼을 해서 따로 살지만 아이에 대한 양육을 공동으로 책임지면서 최선을 다할 경우, 어린 아이에게 미칠 부정적인 영향을 최소화하고 오히려 긍정적인 방향으로 아이를 키울 수 있다는 것을 보여줍니다.
알렉스의 부모는 이혼을 했습니다. 그래서 알렉스는 엄마와 아빠 집에서 번갈아 가면서 살고 있습니다. 그러다 보니 알렉스는 집도 두채, 외출하고 돌아와서 코트를 걸어두는 현관도 2개, 알렉스 방도 2개, 의자도 2개, 부엌도 2개, 화장실도 2개, 치솔도 2개, 전화번호도 2개, 그리고 친구들도 아빠 동네와 엄마 동네의 친구들이 2배로 많지요. 모든 것이 2개고 집도 2개지만 알렉스는 어디에 있던지 엄마와 아빠를 사랑합니다. 그리고 엄마와 아빠도 알렉스가 어디에 있던지 항상 알렉스를 사랑하지요...

Book Description
A young boy named Alex enjoys the homes of both of his parents who live apart but love Alex very much.
Children's Literature
Divorce may have become commonplace but its effect on children can be as unsettling as an earthquake. This is especially true for the very young, who require security to develop a good sense of self-confidence and trust. This picture book focuses on the positive aspects of having parents living apart from each other. The story's protagonist, Alex, lives part-time with each parent. Both houses are complete with the things important to a young child—his own bedroom, a place to hang his coat, his toothbrush, and special friends. Each environment is different but designed to make Alex feel at home. The illustrator's watercolors, with their homey details, contribute to an overall sense of comfort. There's a sailboat in the tub at Daddy's house, a rubber ducky at Mommy's. Alex bakes cookies with Mommy, shells peas with Daddy. By focusing on a single issue the author provides a reassurance that is understandable to the young reader. The most comforting words of the book lie in the last two lines in which the parents say, "We love you wherever we are. And we love you wherever you are."
School Library Journal
Young Alex's parents are divorced, and he spends time with each of them. He has two rooms, two favorite chairs, two sets of friends, two of everything. He loves both of them no matter where he is, and they love him, no matter where they are. The ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations are comforting and warm. There is no sign of the child missing one parent when he is with the other or questioning his situation, and he seems quite well adjusted. This book is clearly intended to help parents tell their children that they are still loved despite their living arrangements. For a different view of how children may feel about sharing two homes, look to Judith Caseley's Priscilla Twice.
Kirkus Reviews
Rising above the standard fare in this genre, with their deadly prose and workaday illustrations, this offering is not afraid to state the obvious: Alex's mommy and daddy don't live together. Alex matter-of-factly explains it: "Daddy lives here. Sometimes I live with Daddy. Mommy lives there. Sometimes I'm with Mommy." Writing about a now-common experience for many young children, Masurel (Good Night!, 1997) has successfully created a reassuring addition to the separated-parents bibliotherapy booklist. Alternating between Dad's and Mom's, Denton's watercolor, gouache, and ink illustrations display an intimate knowledge of the complete lives of the city-dwelling Mom and the country-living Dad. At Mommy's there's a big, comfy chair to cuddle up in and read; at Daddy's a child-sized rocking chair. There are separate but equal accommodations, too, including a dog at Dad's and an aquarium full of fish at Mom's. Alex is nearly gender-neutral, dressed in a kid uniform of cotton pants and shirt (red at Dad's and blue at Mom's) with straight hair bobbed at ear length. This portrayal allows all children the opportunity to identify with the young narrator. On page after page, Alex and his parents engage in the pleasant common activities of early childhood, from playing dress-up with an assortment of friends, taking a bath, and shucking peas at Dad's, to baking gingerbread men at Mom's. An extremely positive take on an often-painful subject. |
