About This Book
Jolo s Two Bedrooms is a new approach to story-telling for children facing parental separation. In this compelling story, Jolo is overwhelmed with the number of emotions and fears he is experiencing. Jolo, moving from crisis to crisis and question to question, is helped by Jennifer Rainbow, a counselor who helps him to see that feelings and fears are normal and acceptable. When Jolo s parents realize that their job is to create a safe and secure environment for Jolo, even if it is between two households, Jolo begins to open up and feel safe in talking with his parents again.
