This gentle, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to the experience of parental separation.

Zebra's mum and dad have decided that they want to separate. Dad is moving to a new house, and Zebra is worried. She doesn't know if she will like living in two different homes.

Luckily, Mrs Bear helps her to feel better, and Zebra soon finds she likes Dad's new home too. The Experiences Matter series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing experiences, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values.
