Always Room for One More is a delightful picture book, a Caldecott Medal winner, based on a traditional Scottish folk song. It introduces readers to Lachie MacLachlan, a man whose generosity knows no bounds, always welcoming weary travelers into his already bustling home with his wife and ten children. The story humorously escalates as more and more guests arrive, leading to a comical collapse of the house, only for the grateful travelers to rebuild an even larger home. This book beautifully models kindness, sharing, and the power of community, making it perfect for discussions on hospitality and helping others. Its lyrical, rhyming text and charming illustrations make it a joy to read aloud.
In this Scottish folk song, a generous family always has room for another person and invites in everyone who passes by
