離異風暴中，大人們忙著縫補破碎又奮力重整家庭，希望巢中的孩子軟著陸。
#
曾有人問這麼沈重的東西，孩子懂得嗎？#
關於《Today is Friday》這個故事#
《Today is Friday》是第一本由離異家庭親歷者、文字工作者和共親職團隊共創完成的繪本，述說風暴下的心聲。我們首次以集資方式，邀請你的支持，讓我們帶着繪本走進校園社區，和孩子談談家庭重組的故事。也為家庭支援者，撐開一把可以和孩子談的傘。#
願此書能在夜裡，陪伴走過風暴的你我長出力量，與孩子們相伴入睡。 ![]()
「爸爸媽媽一直吵著要離婚，而我就變成了一件貨，爭來爭去。」
七歲的孩子
在畫自己的紙上，畫了一條拉上拉鍊的嘴巴
2018年初秋，我們出版《雙棲-單親孩子雙親愛》，是華語地區首部以「兒童為本 共享親職」真實經歷為題的作品。費時3年的創作歷程，我們邀請了長大了的孩子一起談談記憶中家的劇變，小小的心靈面對親人的缺席，都有說不盡的疑惑和思念。經歷過家庭風暴的大孩子和我們回顧，分離與傷痛經驗並非專屬於離異家庭。 《Today is Friday》從親歷者的角度出發，也是每個人經歷生命轉折時所要面對的課題。
僅希望這本書，把大人們對孩子難以開口的心事，轉化成社會集體的故事。也給這個社會和多元樣貌的家，一些指引與支持。

繪本試閱#
「媽媽，我何時能再見到你？」#
這是一位穿梭兩個家庭的三歲女孩的提問，而媽媽的內心正下著細雨。 媽媽跟爸爸分開了，小女孩生活在兩個家之中，星期一至四跟爸爸生活，星期五至日來媽媽家。
小小的手還數不清週一至日，「一、二、三、四，數到五，我們便會見面！」尾指相勾，蓋章約定。而今天就是星期五！

兒童為本 共享親職（child-focused co-parenting) 指父母雙方合作參與照顧子女，讓子女同時與父及母建立親子關係。秉承以孩子為本的精神，共同分擔父母的角色和責任，讓孩子繼續享有父母雙方的愛和教養。#

Engage and inspire – helping children rise above challenges in life#
Today is Friday Picture Book Crowdfunding project for community education#
You can make a difference
With the aim of embracing and supporting children growing through parental separation, a major crowdfunding project is under way to help fund more community-based workshops and school visits. This will offer some much-needed guidance and support for families going through a difficult time. Each and every sale of the book Today is Friday will make a difference to your local community and change the lives of many children.
A storybook that opens up a conversation
When going through a relationship breakdown, parents often find themselves struggling with their own emotional pain as well as the despair of their children. They wish to lessen the pain by quickly moving on and rebuilding new lives but the reality could be quite the opposite. Bottling up feelings and emotions could never heal a wound. So, how do you talk to children about such a sensitive subject?
Today is Friday serves as a conversation starter for parents, social workers, education professionals and anyone who cares about the mental health and well-being of our children. Overwhelmed by the sudden change in family circumstances, many children with separated parents struggle to cope with the feelings of loss and insecurity. Saying goodbye might become weekly occurrence for families living apart, but the agony of separation will always be devastating and unbearable. “Mummy, why do I only see you two days a week?” asked the little girl in the book. Artful illustrations and simple yet engaging dialogue between the little girl and her mother tell a heartfelt and bittersweet story about love and resilience that resonates with thousands of families on a similar journey. The book is one of its kind with personal experience threaded throughout, offering plenty of rooms for children and grown-ups to reflect on their own issues.

The driving force behind Today is Friday
Today is Friday is a collaborative work by volunteers from different backgrounds sharing the same passion for child-focused co-parenting. This pioneering approach to modern day parenting advocates the cooperation between separated parents in bringing up their children with all the love and attention that they can give. In the past four years, Two Nests Creation has held numerous theatre workshops in local communities where families impacted by parental separation could share their experience and support each other. Participants have enjoyed the company of other like-minded parents and have gradually formed a tightly bonded group. Positive feedback and raving comments about the workshops keep pouring in and fuelling the ever growing demand for school visits and community events.
This book is dedicated to all the fans and supporters of Two Nests Creation. As they shared their tears and laughter along the roller coaster journey of co-parenting, they also inspired the Two Nests team and contributed a great deal to the creation of this beautifully illustrated storybook. They truly embody the spirit of ‘living apart, being together’.
A book with a mission
To celebrate the well-established community work achieved by Two Nests, we would like to appeal to sponsorship for publishing the storybook. Your sponsorship and support will strengthen our force so that we can reach out for more families and offer a helping hand to those desperately in need of help and reassurance. This unique project helps raise social awareness towards family breakdown and give back to the society. We hope you would come on board and join us on this truly meaningful cause.
Crowdfunding Project
We aim to raise NT$125,000 (approx. HK$35,000) during the crowdfunding project which covers Taiwan and Hong Kong. Once we reach this target amount, we can then kick-start the printing of Today is Friday whilst distribution is scheduled for October 2021. The storybook will be written in Chinese language and printed with full colour illustrations and a hardcover. A variety of seminars and educational workshops will also take place in local communities and online to capture a wider audience across the regions.
