City of More

By Sonya Annita Song

Book Overview

The City of More is a children's picture book for ages 4-8 that addresses materialism, sharing, and empathy in a fun, imaginative way. The Bigwigs, who live in a city obsessed with accumulating things, symbolize how we can lose sight of what really matters when we're drowning in our "stuff."

When the Bigwigs realize their possessions have taken over their lives, they turn to the Smallwigs of the City of Less for guidance. Readers discover that true happiness and prosperity come from sharing and generosity, making this a perfect addition to school libraries, classroom reading programs, and family collections.

Delightfully illustrated by Daniel Howard and reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, this picture book is both educational and entertaining, offering themes of kindness, compassion, and responsible consumption.

Ideal for librarians, educators, and book buyers, this book inspires thoughtful conversations about materialism, inequality, and giving while capturing young readers' imaginations.
