The Most Important Thing by Rhonda Roth is a picture book about the controversial topic of divorce. This topic is a challenging topic to discuss with kids, but it is something that should always be discussed openly with them. I like the way Rhonda Roth portrayed divorce as a sad thing, but the family would make sure not to make it a bad thing. Rhonda also made the book focused on how the little girl would always be loved, and that was the most important thing. I have come to realize after taking many elementary education classes that kids always have misconceptions of things. They have their own views built off of what they see from television, movies, books, friends, etc. Many kids will automatically assume that divorce is going to be a horrible thing where they are not loved, they do not see one of their parents again, or one of their parents will automatically become replaced. This book does an excellent job not showing the stereotypical divorce, but showing what really happens.
