Into the jar also goes the money Grandma saves whenever she gets a bargain at the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVera Williams enhances this story about family, community, and the power of working together toward a common goal with her signature folk art-inspired paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Chair for My Mother\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Horn Book\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVera B.
