A story about Divorce
for your 1st Grader.

Among the Misty Mountains, Queen Neena wakes early. She watches soft clouds wrap the hills. She loves to learn something new every day.

In the morning light, Ember Flare flutters his wings. He feels a little breeze on his scales and grins with excitement.

On top of a tall rook tower sits a gleaming telescope, shining in the soft dawn light.

The Panda family lives in a snug bamboo grove. Soon, they must move to another mountain far away.

Queen Neena hears that the pandas’ parents are getting a divorce. She feels sad, but she wants to help them stay close.

Ember Flare worries that the pandas will forget happy moments they shared in the grove. He sighs softly and stares at the clouds.

The Panda family wants their little one to know they can still love each parent, even if they live in different homes.

Ember Flare says, “You can write letters or draw pictures. You can visit each home and share hugs!”
