What Matters Most teaches kids in a simple fashion that what matters most is to be loved--no matter what shape or size your family comes from. I had gotten it for my nephew before he questions about his step family. I loved it so much that I got another copy for my niece. Both of them love hearing the story. I highly recommend this book to teach kids about differences in family and relationships in a loving and accepting way.

This is a really great book that explains non-traditional family issues in a way that young kids can understand. It emphasizes the importance of having parents who care about their children, regardless of their family situation.

I gave this book an "ok" rating because when I was done reading it, my 7 yr old daughter said "I liked that book". I originally bought this book to help, on a child's level, my daughter feel more comfortable and normal in our blended family. My daughter now has a step-father and two siblings so it "close" to traditional. However, this book touches on EVERY type of family. Same-sex marraiges too which I wasn't exactly sure I wanted to bring up right now.... I didn't think or expect I'd be explaining all these other relationships too. But I guess in the long run, it was a STRONG opener but an opener none the less for conversation.
