A Whole Cookie: Olivia & Dad Make Room
A Faith-Based Children’s Book for Kids Processing Divorce, Loss, and an “Empty Seat” at the Table.
A Whole Cookie: A Christian Children’s Book About Grief, Divorce, and Single-Parent Families
by Dr. PJ Dunn (Author)
For young Olivia and her dad, dinner time has become a quiet reminder of what is missing. Since her mother is no longer at the table, life feels like a cookie with a big bite taken out of it—incomplete and lonely.
In this touching and hope-filled story, a “Daddy Daughter Day” spent baking snickerdoodles leads to a powerful discovery: though their family looks different now, they are never truly alone. By inviting Jesus to their table, Olivia learns that her heart can feel “whole” again.
A Whole Cookie is a gentle, faith-based resource for parents and children navigating grief, divorce, or the challenges of a single-parent household. It illustrates a simple but life-giving message: when there is an “empty seat,” God’s presence is still real, His love is still steady, and His people can still show up with compassion.
