My Stick Family by Natalie June Reilly and Brandi J. Pavese Billy feels angry, confused and sad. His parents don't live together anymore—they have gotten a divorce. His deepest wish is for all of them—mom, dad and his little brother, Alec—to live together as a family again. In this tender story, simply and charmingly ilustrated, Billy learns that just because his parents live in separate homes, it doesn't mean that the strength and love of a family has been taken from him.
