【誰能定義家的樣貌？有沒有愛才是一切】

橫掃加拿大多項童書獎項，榮獲美國最佳青少年圖書榜推薦書目

故事的一開始，老師要全班同學介紹自己的家，大家開始思考，原來我家和別人家很不一樣。然而什麼才算是一個家？家的組成要件是什麼？
有人會說：要有一個媽媽和一個爸爸
有人會說：要有兄弟姊妹
有人還說：最好三代同堂
但時代不斷在改變，社會條件和文化觀念開放也影響著家的組成，但無論構成的對象是誰，唯一也是僅有的條件就是—有沒有愛。一個沒有愛的家，即便兄弟姊妹皆為親手足，卻冷淡如冰甚至彼此憎恨，一個沒有愛的家，就算再富有，子女與父母之間的關係僅剩物質供需。
當愛成為構成家的唯一條件，過去烙印在我們腦海中的「家」的樣板也漸漸瓦解。只要有充足的愛與關心，同志也可以成為非常棒的爸爸們或媽媽們，對孩子不分親生領養都能視如己出的領養父母，和普通家庭並無二致。更不用說被祖父母帶大的孩子、單親家庭的孩子、因爸媽再婚而成為一家人的孩子，若用過去單一且制式的觀念去看，難道這些家庭都不算「家」？

本書用最簡單也最打動人心的方式，從孩子的視角去看不同的家庭，孩子不像大人有那麼多成見和歧視，反而能呈現出最直白、也最貼近現實生活的家的面貌。

#只要有愛就是家
#邁向多元共容的社會必讀繪本

When a teacher asks the children in her class to think about what makes their families special, the answers are all different in many ways — but the same in the one way that matters most of all.
One child is worried that her family is just too different to explain, but listens as her classmates talk about what makes their families special. One is raised by a grandmother, and another has two dads. One is full of stepsiblings, and another has a new baby.
As one by one, her classmates describe who they live with and who loves them — family of every shape, size and every kind of relation — the child realizes that as long as her family is full of caring people, her family is special.
A warm and whimsical look at many types of families written by award-winning author Sara O’Leary, A Family is a Family springs to life with quirky and sweet illustrations by Qin Leng.
