A short and simple book that emphasizes a child's innocence in his parents' separation, "Mom and Dad live in different homes. But it'snot because of me," and highlights the things that will NOT change in his life, "My mom loves me. My dad loves me. I am loved, and this makes me strong."

Colorfully

and cheerfully illustrated, Standing on My Own Two Feet, depicts a well-adjusted, well-loved child, whose parents are divorced - nothing more and nothing less. A perfect balance.

Show that a divore doesn't affect all the same. This story shows that this boy know that it wasn't his fault his parents are not togther and that he was willing to cope with the situation.

Addison is living with his mom but not with his dad because his parents got divorce. However, Addison is not sad for that because although his parents are not living together anymore he is still seeing them. Addison uses his feet as reference saying that his mom and his dad always will be his

parents no matter what. Addison sounds very positive and try to deal in a positive way with it.

This is telling a story about Addison, his parents are devorce, and most of the time he stay with his mother. Bue he can still see his father from time to time. And Addison is using each one of his feet to refer mother side and father side. This boy is using positive attitude to facing his world.
