During a visit to her grandma s house, a young girl discovers a box of poems in the attic, poems written by her mother when she was growing up. Her mother s family often moved around the United States and the world because her father was in the Air Force. Over the years, her mother used poetry to record her experiences in the many places the family lived. Reading the poems and sharing those experiences through her mother s eyes, the young girl feels closer to her mother than ever before. To let her mother know this, she creates a gift: a book with her own poems and copies of her mother s. And when she returns her mother s poems to the box in the attic, she leaves her own poems too, for someone else to find, someday. Using free verse for the young girl s poems and tanka for her mother s, master poet Nikki Grimes creates a tender intergenerational story that speaks to every child s need to hold onto special memories of home, no matter where that place might be.<\/p>\n

A young child asks his mother to tell the story of where he came from. I might tell how you came from a land far away in a hot air balloon. The basket slowly drifted down like a feather into our yard. I dropped the firewood I was carrying and ran to you. You re home now, I said. Or maybe it was a lark and not a stork that brought the child to the mother. Or perhaps he was rescued from a dragon! Each lyrical and fantastic tale contains a small kernel of truth that pieces together the baby s journey across a wide ocean into his new mother\u2019s arms. Beautifully illustrated by Jessica Lanan, The Story I\u2019ll Tell is a gentle and moving story of adoption and parental love that is sure to touch the hearts of readers everywhere, no matter how they came to be a family.<\/p>\n

\u201cA tender knockout. It\u2019s rare to find much vitality, spontaneity, and depth of feeling in such a simple, young book.\u201d\u2014Kirkus Reviews<\/em><\/p>\n

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>\n

There hasn\u2019t been a comfortable place to sit in the apartment since a fire in their previous apartment burned everything to \u201ccharcoal and ashes.\u201d 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\u2019s crowning moment, mother, daughter, and Grandma search four different furniture stores, and after carefully trying several chairs, like Goldilocks, they find the chair they\u2019ve been dreaming of at last.<\/p>\n

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>\n

A Chair for My Mother<\/em>\u00a0has sold more than a million copies and is an ideal choice for reading and sharing at home and in the classroom. \u201cA superbly conceived picture book expressing the joyful spirit of a loving family.\u201d\u2014The Horn Book<\/em><\/p>\n
