‘Divorce Is the Worst’ by Anastasia Higginbotham
DIRECTIONS
Known for her witty, authentic take on some of the biggest issues that can face children, Anastasia Higginbotham has added “Divorce Is the Worst” to her “Ordinary Terrible Things” series. Higginbotham lays it all out in the open for young kids in an easy-to-understand story that doesn’t shy away from the bad feelings that come with divorce. “Divorce Is the Worst” is designed to give kids the coping mechanisms they need to navigate a time in their lives that may feel, frankly, a little sucky. The book is also often used by professionals in family law, like therapists and mediators.
1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, 2 tbsp water, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. 2. Spray a deep, nonstick skillet with cooking oil and place over high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. 3. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the meat and cook for 1 minute. 4. Pour sauce over the beef, then cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. 5. Divide rice evenly into four serving bowls. Top each with scant 2/3 cup beef, cucumber slices, sesame seeds, scallions, and gochujang, to taste.
