A Chair for My Mother

After a fire destroys everything in their apartment, Rosa, her mother, and her grandmother start saving coins in a big glass jar. Every tip from Mama's job as a waitress and every bit Rosa earns goes in, until the day the jar is full and they can finally buy one soft, beautiful armchair. Vera B. Williams's warm, brightly painted story about family, community, and working toward a dream is a Caldecott Honor book.
