Any child, or adult for that matter, that has experienced divorce will relate to the story in Fred Stays with Me. The little girl is shuffled from her mom's house to her dad's house for visits. Things are different at each house. The only consistency she has is her dog Fred who travels with her everywhere she goes. Unfortunately, Fred makes messes and gets in trouble. Mom says, "Fred can't say with me!" and Dad says, "Fred can't stay with me," but the little girl corrects both of them when she says, "Fred doesn't stay with either one of you! Fred stays with me!"
Fred Stays with Me is a wonderful story of consistency needed for a child of divorce told from the child's perspective told with beautifully muter water color illustrations.
