Today my publisher told me that “We Need to Talk About Divorce” has been translated into 7 languages over 16 countries so far. It’s still sinking in. I love imagining children all over the world reading it with their parents— and feeling less frightened and alone. Available at tr.ee/J7u2G14Yxf

As a divorce therapist, I wrote, ‘We Need to Talk About Divorce,’ to give children a voice through one of the most confusing periods of their lives. Honored that it's now available in Estonian 🇪🇪 — Me peame rääkima lahutusest — translated by Triin Olvet and published by Julius Press.

Graphic quote card on a teal background promoting the book ‘We Need to Talk About Divorce,’ marked ‘2/2’ in the upper right corner. A large quotation reads: ‘A very thorough book, where important topics are addressed with honesty. The author gives children the opportunity to understand the complex decisions of adults, while maintaining respect for parents’ choices and human imperfection. Reading it gives names to things that a child has not experienced before, which helps reduce helplessness. The opportunity to read about the right to express one’s feelings and needs is necessary to better adapt to painful change. The book is also a sobering and supportive read for divorcing parents, who often lose sight of their own behavior and the real needs of their children.’ Below the quote, the attribution reads: ‘— Anne Kleinberg, MD, Estonian Child Psychiatrist & Family Therapist, Head of Psychiatric Clinic, Tallinn Children’s Hospital.’ At the bottom, text says: ‘WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT DIVORCE – Kate Scharff - Available Now’ with the author’s Instagram handle ‘@kate_scharff.
