In Hana’s street there is not enough. Until Hana decides to do something about it. Although Hana’s attempts to help are in the beginning successful, when winter comes, then hardship, she is unable to meet everyone’s need. At the point where she despairs, her family and the neighbours she has helped step in and offer to give her a hand. By pulling together they build a resilient community in which everyone has enough. Enough is a story about community, kindness and the power of helping hands.

Enough - A story about community has such a valuable message, and one that hasn't necessarily been explored in a great many picture books to date, ... At the heart of the story is Hana, a kōtiro with a real drive towards helping those in her neighbourhood to ensure that everyone has enough - or as close to it as she can get, which might be at times 'nearly enough, sort of enough, almost enough'. Hana's decision to tackle these challenges on her own becomes, unsurprisingly, too much for a wee girl to handle. And when the community realises this, they rally to support in supporting them. It's aroha and āwhina, all that good stuff.
