Learning where “enough” begins

Through one child’s questions about friends, turns, clothes, toys, accessories, and books, Enough Is... considers the line between wanting and needing. Its central idea is expressed in spare, accessible language: somewhere between having too little and having a lot is a point of sufficiency that can be difficult to recognize. The book connects that idea with the child’s growing contentment in what she already has, making satisfaction—not simply acquiring more—the focus of its reflection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 exploring the difference between wants and needs
  • Young readers interested in stories about contentment and peer pressure
  • Adults seeking a book to prompt conversation about possessions and expectations

Book overview

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."
