What if less could be more?
A child's bedroom, and the rest of his house, has become cluttered with stuff. But when one small act of giving something away sparks joy, he keeps going-and before you know it, his little sister, friends, and family get involved in donating items to people in need and bringing the whole community together for a swap party. Here is a heartening story that illustrates for the youngest readers how less can be MORE: more space for living, loving, and knowing that we already have PLENTY.
Brought to life in intricate collage by award-winning artist Oge Mora, More or Less takes the meaning of "reduce, reuse, recycle" into the realm community-building and the cultivation of kindness and meaning.
