Mommy, Daddy, why do you keep fighting? "Princess Pretend-Not-To-Know" is a picture book by Choi Sook-hee, author of "You Are a Miracle" and "It's Okay," that gives voice to the quiet pain children feel amid their parents' conflicts and arguments. The little princess feels anxious and afraid whenever Mommy and Daddy fight, but she pretends not to notice, eating her meals and playing as usual. Yet deep down, she carries her hurt feelings into the tall tower she has built for herself. A little bird, a baby mouse, a small dragon, and a young prince all come to visit the princess in her tower — each of them also carrying wounds from their own parents' fighting. As they share their pain with one another, they finally burst into tears. And the first ones to come running to comfort them are their own mommies and daddies. This book beautifully captures just how deeply children can be hurt and unsettled by conflict between their parents, offering warm comfort to little hearts while gently encouraging parents everywhere to reflect on their own behavior. The author's signature illustrations — rounded lines and vibrant colors — add extra warmth, humor, and emotional depth to the story. This book challenges the common misconception that young children don't understand what's happening around them. It also reassures little ones that even when Mommy and Daddy disagree and argue sometimes, they haven't been forgotten — their parents' love for them never changes. In the end, readers will come away understanding that it is parents who hold the power to make a child's world happy — or unhappy.
