Like many children, Danny is afraid his parents' divorce is his fault. So on the day his daddy leaves, Danny writes a secret question on a slip of paper: Is it my fault? He shows the question to his teacher, his friend, and his dad and mom. Everyone reassures him that the divorce is not his fault. With tears in her eyes, his mom writes NO on the back of the paper so when Danny needs to, he can be comforted again and again.

In this simple, poignant story, Eric J. Adams and Kathleen Adams focus on the misplaced guilt commonly felt by children of divorcing parents. Layne Johnson's realistic paintings dramatically convey Danny's strong emotions.
