Nearly enough, sort of enough, almost enough...what happens where there is not enough? Sarah Johnson and Deborah Hinde have written and illustrated a children's book that is based around Hana, who is concerned about whether people on her street have enough - and her efforts to help them when she finds that they don't. The pair have collaborated on a number of works - but the production of this one was a little different. It was made possible through a grant from Copyright Licensing New Zealand, and a dollar from the sale of each book will go to a charity called Feed the Kids, which is based in Raglan. They both join Kathryn to talk about why they felt the idea of what is "enough" was an important one for children to understand.
