Description
Book Synopsis''So much more than a parenting manual - the Grants have thrown out a lifeline'' THE TIMES
''The most extraordinary parenting guide of our time'' DAILY MAIL
A breakout book on the ever-expanding concept of family
Carrie and David Grant have an extraordinary family story to tell. They have four children, one of whom is adopted, and all have come with a curveball: mental health challenges, neurodivergence, trans non-binary identities, various sexualities, and they are a mixed-race family, too.
It is a reflection of the fact that society is changing faster than most of us can keep up with. The wider concepts of family and community are being deconstructed. There are those who are desperately clinging to the old and those who are desperate for the new to be accepted. How do we hold our families and communities together in unity? How do we create a society where all are included and none are oppressed?
In A Very Modern Family, Carr
Trade Review
However our children show up in the world, there will be times when we feel out of our depth. This book helps us to know that it is within us to find the strength needed to meet the challenges we face. * JUNO *

This book is so much more than a parenting manual; the Grants have thrown out a lifeline. * The Times *
[A Very Modern Family] covers a rainbow of experiences; coming out, dealing with school and life in a society that is still prejudiced. It's taboo-busting, brave and moving, and should be on every family's bookshelf * The Green Parent magazine *
This book will surprise many and enlighten us all -- Paterson Joseph
