(3) 4-6 Color by Maddie Sackett. When eleven-year-old Galen’s parents' divorce, he finally understands the pain of his friend Kyle, whose parents have also split, and together with pal Luna, they make a documentary to process it all. This engaging graphic novel explores complicated family dynamics, friendship, and big emotions with nuance and honesty. Warm illustrations with cinematic touches add energy and clarity, with expressive art heightening the emotional stakes. A thoughtful, relatable read for kids navigating change and seeking connection.
