A sweet story of the love between father and daughter that stays constant, even through big change.
Pearl loves imagining she is a princess, with Mama and Papa in their magical castle . . . until Mama and Papa get a divorce, and Papa moves away. The story starts when Pearl spends her first day at Papa's new place and it's the opposite of magical when he has to get her ready for picture day. Everything is just too . . . different. But Pearl and Papa learn that different can be okay, and even special.
Papa and Pearl explores a fresh perspective on divorce, focusing on the strength of the father-daughter relationship, not the divorce itself. Imaginative and captivating, Papa and Pearl draw young readers into their world of pirates, princesses, and mermaids, and the love between father and daughter that doesn't change even when other things do.
