Grayson lives in a big brick house with his two dads.  He loves having chocolate chip pancakes with his dads on Saturdays and reading bedtime stories together.  Grayson's life will never be the same when his two dads decide to get a divorce.  Will he ever get used to his new life split between two homes?

With colorful illustrations and a minimal amount of words, Once Upon My Dads' Divorce may help those going through a similar situation.  Included in the back is a Reader's Note with tips from a psychologist about how to help children cope with divorce.   This book offers answers and reassurance to children who are going through this difficult time.

Grayson is white.  One of his dads is black and the other is white.
