“Lachie MacLachlan, the generous hero of this enthralling story, is an exception to the rule that Scots are frugal. He welcomes every weary traveler who passes by on a stormy night to his “wee house in the heather,” where he lives with his family of twelve. ” “There’s always room for one more,” Lachie says, and the way his grateful guests say a wonderful “Thank you” provides a delightfully warm and tender ending to this hilarious story of kindness.
Always Room for One More won the Caldecott Medal in 1966.”
