About the Book:
“Quiet and warm. A perfect hug of a book.” Adam Rex, author and illustrator.
For kids encountering the pressure to fit in with peers, this picture-book story explores a concept that is key to happiness: how much is enough?
How many friends, turns, clothes, toys, fashion accessories, books? How much of anything? The pictures follow one child as she learns the difference between wanting and needing and, in the end, feels the contentment that flows from being satisfied with what she has. The text, meanwhile, frames a difficult idea in simple, spare language: “Somewhere between a little and a lot, there is Enough. It might be hard to spot, but it’s always there.”
