Little Thought Monsters provides a thoughtful and sensitive look at family separations in a positive way.

Author Doreen Slinkard continues her Wicky Wacky Farm Series with a hearfelt book about a little boy dealing with his parents' separation. As Donny and Lulu from Wicky Wacky Farm return to school after their fun summer holiday, Donny is looking forward to seeing his best friend, Tommy. But Tommy is extremely sad and angry, and Donny can't understand why. When he learns about the separation of Tommy's parents, and that Tommy had to spend his summer holiday with his elderly grandmother, Donny asks his mother for help.

Donny's mum, Dora, comes up with an idea on how to make Tommy understand what is happening, and to make him feel better. Her plan works, as she shows him that children can still feel whole, even when there is a family separation.
