About the Book

A child hears the word “divorce” and immediately has about forty questions. They ask maybe two of them out loud. Hey, What About Me? answers the other thirty-eight.

Nan Famular spent nineteen years on the bench deciding where children would sleep on Christmas morning and which parent drives to the game. She interviewed the kids themselves and heard the same worries surface again and again. This book is her answer to every one of them. It’s a conversation with someone who already knows what you’re about to say, showing young readers exactly where their own power lies.

Judge. Family lawyer. Mom of five. Kid advocate!

For forty-four years, Nan S. Famular worked in the middle of other people’s divorces.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful answers before you begin.

Both options work. Some children prefer to read quietly on their own, while others feel more comfortable reading with a trusted adult. Sharing the book together can open the door to conversations that might otherwise feel difficult to begin.

No. Every child experiences divorce differently. Instead of telling children what they should feel, the book helps them understand that whatever they are feeling is valid and gives them healthy ways to express those emotions.

Many children find it easier to relate to a story than to answer direct questions. The book gives them words for emotions they may not yet know how to explain, making conversations feel more natural.
