Bookroo's summary
In a cozy Scottish home, Lachie MacLachlan and his family of twelve welcome every storm-tossed traveler with open arms. Despite their small space, Lachie's mantra, "There's always room for one more," transforms their home into a haven of warmth and generosity. As the storm rages outside, the grateful guests find unique ways to express their thanks, leading to a heartwarming conclusion. What surprises await in this tale of boundless kindness and community spirit?
From the publisher
Winner of the Caldecott Medal.
Lachie MacLachlan, the generous hero of this enchanting tale, is the exception to the rule that the Scots are a thrifty lot. In his “wee house in the heather,” where he lives with his family of twelve, he welcomes to his hearth every weary traveler who passes by on a stormy night. “There’s always room for one more,” says Lachie, and how his grateful guests say a wonderful “Thank you” provides a delightfully warm and tender ending to this hilarious tale of kindness.
Always Room for One More is the winner of the 1966 Caldecott Medal.
