Book excerpt: This book is about communication between parents and kids during the divorce period. Irene, the protagonist of the story, offers insight that can help children and divorcing parents work together so the children can experience comfort and healing through this emotional time of their lives. The list of 11 things that Irene asks from mum and dad is the message that all parents should keep in their hearts as they proceed in their separation."Irene, we'd like to tell you something" Dad said and Irene hugged her Teddy Bear the tightest she could...., "Mum and I decided it would be best for all of us to stay apart for a while" he said and Irene bugged her little eyes. She was trying to figure out what that should mean to her. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind at that very moment.... That moment she wanted so bad to scream. She couldn't say a word though.... As Irene was struggling to avoid her parents fights she wrote to her diary "Maybe I have to choose between them so as to put an end to the whole situation. I don't wanna do such thing though; I love them just the way they are." But one day she found a solution....and she also created a list to remind to her parents what is more important for her. The first thing in her list was ".... stop saying bad things to each other. Both of you are my parents; I love you both to the moon and back and both of you are hurting ME when saying all these bad things to each other."Below a review from Readers' FavoriteMum, Dad, Can You Hear Me? by Despina Mavridou calls to all warring parents to pay attention. This book is written like one for kids, but I strongly recommend it for adults who have or plan to have kids. It sheds a light on what children go through in many homes. When the home front is in disarray, the kids suffer the most. While we battle with each other as parents, we must remember our little jewels who didn't beg to be born. A chaotic home is damaging to them, causing a breed of broken adults in society. Despina conveys her message using eye-friendly and colorful illustrations. The plot was well structured, her writing style was playful, and her tone was relaxed. This story is short and powerful, hitting the target with its message. I loved it!

Tackles grief with honesty' DAWN FRENCH 'Very important and moving book' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL 'A searingly honest book. So much of Rio's emotional turmoil and deep loss resonated with me.

An extraordinary and unforgettable book. *****' HEAT * * * * * * 'When Rebecca died, the idea that one day I might begin to feel better would have struck me as laughable ... I know how persuasive this kind of permanence thinking can be. I know too that anyone locked in its grip will laugh if I promise them that their pain will one day ease. It will. Of course it will. But I know better than to expect anyone to believe me.' In 2015, former England football star Rio Ferdinand suddenly and tragically lost his wife and soulmate Rebecca, aged 34, to cancer. It was a profound shock and Rio found himself struggling to cope not just with the pain of his grief, but also with his new role as both mum and dad to their three young children. Rio's BBC1 documentary, Being Mum and Dad, touched everyone who watched it and won huge praise for the honesty and bravery he showed in talking about his emotions and experiences. His book now shares the story of meeting, marrying and losing Rebecca, his own and the family's grief - as well as the advice and support that get him through each day as they strive to piece themselves back together. Thinking Out Loud is written in the hope that he can inspire others struggling with loss and grief to find the help they need through this most difficult of times.
