What Matters Most : A Children's Book of Families

Keira has a problem. She believes she does not have a "real" family. She knows a real family is supposed to have a mom and a dad. After spending time with a variety of families, Keira learns something. She comes to realize that a real family is not supposed to have anything. A real family is a group of people that love each other. That is what matters most. This story is about all kinds of families and how there is no one right way to be a family. It includes families of very different structures that all have one thing in common: love. The people in these families love each other and that is why each family works. This story is about redefining the notion of family. This story is about valuing all families.Carter, Kristin is the author of 'What Matters Most : A Children's Book of Families', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413736311 and ISBN 1413736319.
