Maya Coleman has two houses now. A blue one with Mom. A green one with Dad. She has two toothbrushes, two pillows, and two of almost everything — except the things that are hard to have two of.
So when her class gets a family tree project, Maya freezes. Where does Dad go on a tree if he doesn't live next to Mom anymore? Is it one tree, or two? Maya tries three different versions and finishes none of them. She hides the poster board under her bed and hopes the week will just pass by.
Then her teacher asks her one simple question — not "why isn't it done," just "what's the hard part?" — and Maya finally says the thing she's never said out loud, not even to herself: that she might be the reason her family split into two.
THE TWO HOUSES is a warm, honest early reader for kids navigating their parents' divorce. No easy fixes, no pretending it doesn't hurt sometimes — just a girl learning that some trees have two trunks, and that doesn't make them broken.
Perfect for kids ages 6-9 adjusting to two homes, and for the grown-ups looking for a book that tells them the truth instead of a script.
