The Humongous Humdingle Family and the Tiny House

Meet the Humdingles! There’s Grandma and Grandad, Mum and Dad, the children and the pets… and they all live under one tiny roof. It’s squashy and noisy, but they wouldn’t have it any other way in this charming story about minimalism, multi-generational living, and the importance of appreciating what we have.

“[A] story that emphases sharing and empathy, love for one another and so much more.”

“The illustrations … complement the sparse but engaging story. Full of warmth and whimsy, the book will appeal to children aged three and older.”

“This heart-warming story illustrates the difference between a house and a home. [A] touch of humour at the end completed a charming story, that should be read aloud, for 3 to 90 year olds.”

“A wonderful, full-of-warmth book, about families, parents, and grandparents and the importance of communication between them. It points to the value of being a close knit unit, and appreciating all that you have.”

“Engaging and entertaining, The Humongous Humdingle Family and the Tiny House is the perfect book for parents to read to children at bedtime. In doing so, they will embrace the essence of the story: sharing is caring.”

“Author Michelle Wilson and illustrator PJ Reece have told this story with a really big title, in such a way that it is fun but thought provoking as well. The text is well broken up, and the illustrations are detailed enough to generate interest. A charming story.”

There’s not a lot of space in the humongous Humdingle family home, but they wouldn’t have it any other way in this charming story about minimalism, multi-generational living, and the importance of appreciating what we have.

Welcome to the Humdingle family! There’s Grandma and Grandad, Mum and Dad, the children and the pets… and they all live in one tiny house. It’s a little squashy and noisy in the house, and sometimes the Humdingles wish they didn’t have to share quite so much. After all, one toilet between three generations can get tricky!

Find out what happens when, one magical day, the Humdingles’ wishes are granted. Will all the space they could dream of make them happier? Or was there, perhaps, something special about living in the tiny, squashy house after all?

This lively, light-hearted book will delight little readers with its playful language and illustrations. Carrying a heartfelt message about the importance of family connections, it is the perfect story for parents and grandparents to share with younger family members. It also opens the door to conversations about materialism, and is a joyful reminder to see the good in what we have.
