There’s not a lot of space in the humongous Humdingle family home, but they wouldn’t have it any other way in this charming story about minimalism, multi-generational living, and the importance of appreciating what we have.

Welcome to the Humdingle family! There’s Grandma and Grandad, Mum and Dad, the children and the pets… and they all live in one tiny house. It’s a little squashy and noisy in the house, and sometimes the Humdingles wish they didn’t have to share quite so much. After all, one toilet between three generations can get tricky!

Find out what happens when, one magical day, the Humdingles’ wishes are granted. Will all the space they could dream of make them happier? Or was there, perhaps, something special about living in the tiny, squashy house after all?

This lively, light-hearted book will delight little readers with its playful language and illustrations. Carrying a heartfelt message about the importance of family connections, it is the perfect story for parents and grandparents to share with younger family members. It also opens the door to conversations about materialism, and is a joyful reminder to see the good in what we have.
