Lena's Story: A Family Like Ours

A book that explains family estrangement to little ones: Lena loves her weekends with Grandma, Grandpa, and her three silly cousins. They play games, bake cookies, and laugh until their tummies hurt. But sometimes, Lena wonders why she doesn't see any other grandparents or cousins like some of her friends do.

With warmth and honesty, Lena's Story gently explores how some families are smaller by choice-and how love, not size, makes a family whole. Through Lena's questions and her parents' kind answers, young readers are reminded that families can look different and still feel just right!

Perfect for children navigating family estrangement, this reassuring story opens the door to age-appropriate conversations about safety, boundaries, and chosen closeness. The book includes parental guidance for how to explain family estrangement to children of different ages and maturity levels.
