Colorful, Thought Provoking Story

Just Enough is Plenty is a story about a poor family who stretches their resources to help a stranger. While the tale takes place around the holiday of Chanukah, this story can be understood by children of all religions. The illustrations are beautiful and encourage repeat readings.
