Room Enough for Daisy

Daisy is a kid with clutter issues. She can't get rid of anything and she wants new stuff for her birthday. Written with Debby Waldman, the book is based on a central European folk tale about a house that's too small. Room Enough for Daisy raises gentle questions about consumerism.

Reviews:

Waldman and Feutl imbue the story with a light tone, powerful message, and realistic characters. Revell's illustrations...are a treat for the eyes.
--Sarah Sorensen, Quill & Quire

Room Enough for Daisy is bright and bold and perfectly engaging....[T]he moral here is present but not overwhelming and the illustrations are colorful, bright and offer young readers lots to look at. This is a very good book for young children in every way.
--Monica Stark, January Magazine

The story provide[s] plenty of topics for discussion, including how to donate and recycle unwanted items, learning to appreciate what you have and more is not always better.
--Kirkus Reviews

The child comes to understand that less is more and to love the sense of space in her neater room. This title will be great for discussions about greed, entitlement, and charity. An accurate description of Mitzvah Day is included.
--Anne Beier, School Library Journal

Room Enough for Daisy does a good job of conveying the message of less is more. A quality book worth purchasing....Good literary merit.
--Southwestern Ohio and Neighboring Libraries
