From page 1:  "In the little town of Singletary, everyone agrees about one thing: No house needs more than ONE of ANYTHING in it. With one lamp, families huddle around a good book at night. With one book, neighbors share. With one cooking pot, meals are simple! With one ball, everyone is included in the game."

Description

Get to know the colorful characters, beautifully illustrated, in this quirky make-believe village, and see how while they get a lot of things right, they still have a few things to learn from each other.

Themes of community and mutual respect add to the sweetness of enjoying the simple pleasures life in Singletary has to offer.

And there's a special bonus! A "Cut & Play" card game is available at the back of the book!

Praise for this book

"Esta dulce historia inspirará compasión y conciencia no solo a nuestros jóvenes, sino también a nuestras comunidades. Te ruega que hagas una pausa, consumas con intención y encuentres alegría en las conexiones simples de la vida."

"This sweet story will inspire compassion and awareness to not only our young people, but our communities as well. It begs you to pause, consume with intention, and find joy in the simple connections in life."  ~Magdalena Romo, Environmental Educator

"Estamos muy contentos de tener este libro en nuestra tienda de juegos, con una gran juego de cartas incluido que coincide con la historia! ¡Muy divertido!"

"Una historia simple con un mensaje fuerte. La Vieja Criada Loca es una manera maravillosa de transmitir a los jóvenes lectores que los artículos materiales, y tener muchos, no equivalen a la felicidad. Lo que realmente importa es cómo los utiliza y con quién los comparte."

"A simple story with a strong message. The Crazy Old Maid is a wonderful way to convey to young readers that material items, and having lots of them, does not equate to happiness. It is how you utilize them and who you share them with, that truly does." ~Dina Marie Baldisseri Bohigian, Stanford Health Care
