Noah, had a marvellous mountain of toys in every corner of his room. With each celebration he dreamed of adding more to his glorious collection.
Until one day his mom had a ridiculous idea. A decluttering idea that did not sit well with Noah, at all! And celebration time would never be the same again.
After all, Mom thought, “How much stuff can a stuffed home hold if a stuffed home is too stuffed?”
Through a year of celebrations, Noah discovers how to declutter his toys, prevents the accumulation needless stuff, learn the joy of giving to others and in the end, a new knowledge to help Mom and Dad.
No More Stuff, is a must have for families suffering with a home bursting at its seams.
As a young girl, Linda had a wonderful school Librarian, who introduced her to the love of reading. Years later, reading piqued her desire to write.
While she studied creative writing she learned a form of the craft she hadn't explored before. At that time, Linda's daughters were young and she discovered she enjoyed writing children's picture books.
Today, Linda is a Nana to five grandsons, and auntie of many great nieces and nephews. They inspire and kindly listen to every revised edition she writes.
With the support of her family and friends, she has followed a writer's path to become a published author.
After many years, she was proud to have published, No More Pets, her debut picture book, followed by, What a Muck. Now, Linda is excited to share with everyone, No More Stuff. This book of gratitude will try to inspire all readers to declutter.
Linda Sachs books are always filled with valuable messages for kids. No More Stuff is certainly no exception. The colorful illustrations show how a house can become overly stuffed with toys. They’re everywhere! But Noah doesn’t mind. He loves getting gifts. As for his mom, well, she asks, “How much stuff can a stuffed home hold if a stuffed home is too stuffed?” Noah’s parents came up with some great ideas and an important message to teach their son. You’ll have to read the book to learn more, but I can promise you there are great lessons for both parents and kids. And any adults who tend to “overstuff” their houses.
No More Stuff is a children's book by Linda Sachs. Noah is excited about Easter. He hopes to have a basket with lots of goodies and gifts, but his mother takes a different approach. She mentions his room "stuffed" full of toys and asks if he'd like to donate some of his toys to a second-hand store. Noah enjoys the new space in his room, and over the year, during special events, like his birthday and Christmas, his mother reminds him he doesn't need more stuff. Instead of receiving more gifts from his family and friends, Noah gives canned items to the local food bank and donates a toy to a toy drive. As another Easter approaches, Noah makes a revelation, and humorously, it extends to his parents, too.
Linda Sachs delivers a story with a very important point. Children may hear that giving is better than receiving, but Sachs's book shows the feelings Noah experiences as he donates toys and food. The lesson raises areas to open a discussion with children about giving and the benefit of donations for children and families in need. Noah's mother repeats a cute rhyme about a "stuffed house" that may stick with young readers as she responds to Noah's requests for gifts. I value the mother's mention of a charitable alternative to presents instead of demanding her son's action. She gives him the idea, and Noah chooses to act on it. No More Stuff is a great book for children whose needs and wants are satisfied but haven't grasped the benefit of giving.
What a fun story about Noah and all his stuff. Mother knows best in this fun teaching story about learning what to hold on to, what to let go of, and what to share. With wonderful illustrations, this book will surely inspire children to organize and let go of less-used toys/objects/things--stuff!
