About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with sharing their space, toys, or attention, or if they are curious about how being kind to others helps build a stronger community. It is a rhythmic, joyful introduction to the concepts of radical hospitality and the idea that there is always room for one more friend in our hearts and homes. This classic Scottish folktale tells the story of Lachie MacLachlan, a man with a big family and an even bigger heart. Despite living in a tiny cottage, he invites every weary traveler he meets to come inside for shelter and song. When the house literally bursts at the seams from too much love and company, the community he built comes together to help him in return. It is a wonderful choice for teaching children that generosity is never a waste and that what we give to others often comes back to us when we need it most.
