Overcoming Obstacles

A story about Divorce
for your 4th Grader.
Lee was a caring boy who loved baseball more than anything. He lived in a small town where the baseball field was the heart of the community. Every day after school, he would rush to the field, his parents cheering him on from the sidelines.
One day, Lee came home to find his parents sitting quietly in the living room. They told him they were getting a divorce. Lee felt as if his world had shattered.
Lee tried to find solace in baseball, but even the game seemed dull without both his parents cheering. His heart felt heavy every time he stepped onto the field.
Lee's best friend, noticing his distress, came up with an idea. 'Let's organize a special baseball game,' he suggested. 'It might help bring everyone together.'
Lee liked the idea. He thought that maybe, just maybe, it could help his parents rekindle their friendship. So, they started planning the game.
But it wasn't easy. Some town folks were skeptical about the game. 'What difference would a game make?' they asked. But Lee and his friend didn't give up.
They worked hard, strategizing and rallying their friends to join the game. They made posters and spread the word. Slowly, the town started to buzz with excitement.
The day of the game arrived. The baseball field was filled with people. Lee's parents were there too, each sitting on a different side of the field.
