Two ten-year-olds' worlds collide when (black) Naomi Marie's mom and (white) Naomi Edith's dad fall in love. The situation is uncomfortable at times, but the Naomis handle it with creativity and humor, emerging with a greater sense of each other, their changing family, and themselves. This novel will resonate with young readers who've experienced a change in family dynamics, particularly divorce.
