Author’s debut

Enough Is…

Publisher: Tilbury House
Illustrated by: Nicole Wong

For kids encountering the pressure to fit in with peers, this picture-book story explores a concept that is key to happiness: how much is enough?

How many friends, turns, clothes, toys, fashion accessories, books? How much of anything? The pictures follow one child as she learns the difference between wanting and needing and, in the end, feels the contentment that flows from being satisfied with what she has. The text, meanwhile, frames a difficult idea in simple, spare language: “Somewhere between a little and a lot, there is Enough. It might be hard to spot, but it’s always there.”

Available at Barnes and Noble, Indiebound, Bookshop.org, Amazon, and wherever books are sold.

Praise for I Think I Think a Lot

  • “I Think I Think a Lot is a powerful story of empathy, compassion, and acceptance. Whipple writes beautifully of OCD from a child’s perspective and invites the reader into the intricacies of this world. I love this book so much because Whipple makes us think a lot too, and we’re so much better because of it.”

    Jordan Scott, poet and author of I Talk Like a River
