<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After a fire destroys their home and possessions, Rosa, her mother, and her grandmother save their money to buy a big comfortable chair that they can all enjoy. Suffused with warmth and tenderness, "A Chair for My Mother" celebrates family love and determination.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>This classic and heartwarming picture book was written and illustrated by the celebrated Vera B. Williams and was named a Caldecott Honor Book by the American Library Association. </strong></p><p>A tender knockout. It's rare to find much vitality, spontaneity, and depth of feeling in such a simple, young book.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><p>Vera Williams tells of a young girl who, along with her waitress mother, saves coins in a big jar in hopes that they can someday buy a new chair for their apartment, the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market.</p><p>There hasn't been a comfortable place to sit in the apartment since a fire in their previous apartment burned everything to charcoal and ashes. Friends and neighbors brought furniture to their new apartment downstairs, but no one brought anything big or soft or comfortable. Finally the jar is full, the coins are rolled, and in the book's crowning moment, mother, daughter, and Grandma search four different furniture stores, and after carefully trying several chairs, like Goldilocks, they find the chair they've been dreaming of at last.</p><p>Vera Williams enhances this story about family, community, and the power of working together toward a common goal with her signature folk art-inspired paintings.</p><p><em>A Chair for My Mother</em> has sold more than a million copies and is an ideal choice for reading and sharing at home and in the classroom. A superbly conceived picture book expressing the joyful spirit of a loving family.--<em>The Horn Book</em></p><p>Vera B. Williams's beloved picture book favorites include: </p><ul><em>More More More, Said the Baby</em></li><em>Amber Was Brave, Essie Was Smart</em></li><em>A Chair for Always</em></li><em>A Chair for My Mother</em></li><em>Cherries and Cherry Pits</em></li><em>Music, Music for Everyone</em></li><em>Something Special for Me</em></li><em>Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea</em></li><em>Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe</em></li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>After a fire destroys their home and possessions, Rosa, her mother, and grandmother save and save until they can afford to buy one big, comfortable chair that all three of them can enjoy.After their home is destroyed by a fire, Rosa, her mother and grandmother save their coins to buy a really comfortable chair for all to enjoy.
