本書以一位小小敘事者的視角，說出家庭走向離婚時，孩子眼中看到與心裡想的事情。故事用簡單而貼近生活的語言，說明單親家庭、共同監護等改變，讓孩子明白生活為何不同了。最重要的是，敘事者反覆強調：離婚不是孩子造成的，而是大人的問題。鼓勵孩子表達疑問與感受，也提醒家長傾聽孩子的聲音。書末收錄心理學家 Jane Annunziata, PsyD 撰寫的〈給家長的話〉，提供引導方向，是一本陪伴家庭面對轉變的實用繪本。Was It the Chocolate Pudding? tells the story of divorce in a typical family from the point of view of an engaging young narrator. Readers learn about divorce, and receive age-appropriate explanations of what is happening regarding such issues as single-parent homes and joint custody. But most importantly, the narrator explains that divorce is not the child's fault - it is a grown-up problem. The story emphasizes the need for communication between parent and child and includes a ""Note to Parents"" by psychologist and author Jane Annunziata, PsyD.
