Here And There

Here And There

A young boy, Ivan, experiences the early stages of his parents’ separation and finds hope in the beauty and music of nature. This tale of personal growth will provide a much-needed mirror for children in times of change — and an important reminder for all that there’s beauty everywhere you look.

Ivan wants to stay Here (his mama’s house). But today he is supposed to go There ( his dad’s new house).
Ivan is not so sure about Dad’s new place. Even the birds he loves can’t cheer him up. But when he finds a new song There with Dad, he discovers that Here and There may not be so far apart after all.

This lyrical, hopeful story of a child adjusting to his parents’ separation will reassure children that, no matter how things change, a family’s love can live in many places.
