When The Cookie Crumbles, You Can Still Pick Up The Pieces begins with a group of people coming to terms with the fact that talking about divorce can be painful, but will help in the end. We are then led through a series of skits concerning children dealing with the different effects of divorce on their lives. The skits are varied, and all quite relatable. Some are short, such as a series of monologues about a boy whose school lunches are taking a turn for the worst after his parents divorce, or a song where a young boy is being told about his parent's split. There is a skit about a girl meeting, and liking, her dad's new wife, as well as kids trying to get along with their new step brothers and sisters, and succeeding. We also follow a young boy whose mom moves him to a new school, and how he deals with meeting new people and making friends. There is even a skit with the children of various fairy tale characters dealing with life when it isn't as perfect as a fairy tale. In the end, the group all decides that talking about divorce wasn't so bad, and that the most important thing to help you through it is love.
