Bugville Critters
A Community Feast About Welcoming Others—and Letting Others Help
By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)
Sarah Silkworm begins Thanksgiving morning at Teakettle Diner with a long list and one determined goal: make every bug feel welcome. As the tables fill and the jobs multiply, Sarah keeps polishing, arranging, serving, and solving until her careful hospitality leaves no room for her to sit down and enjoy the gathering.
When Sarah finally admits that she needs a place and some help of her own, family and friends make room with mismatched dishes, shared work, and warm conversation. The story celebrates gratitude, community, and the important truth that caring for others also includes allowing others to care for you.
