Summary: The Greatest Gift recounts an endearing conversation between the author and her then three-year-old daughter. In simple, easy-to-understand words, the book tells the story of how babies are conceived and how a donor can help families conceive a child. It was written to educate young readers about family diversity, to spark conversations about family origins, and to help children understand the concept of a donor. This story, full of love and generosity, reminds us that the greatest gift of all is the love and time we share with our children and loved ones, regardless of how they were conceived.
