Review: Great Read - This was a wonderful story about caring and kindness. My first graders loved it 💕
Review: This is a heartwarming tale about the importance of family togetherness and love! - Rosa and her grandmother were cuddled up in the oversized chair covered with a flowery pattern. Her mother worked at the Blue Tile Diner and it was going to be another late night, but her grandmother insisted she head for her own bed to get a little sleep. Early in the morning she rose and went into her mother's room to sneak into bed with her when a commotion began upstairs. The phone rang and her mother sprang up from her bed and BOP flew right into Rosa. When she asked if anything was wrong, her mother said "Aunt Ida's baby is starting to get born." Rosa was not allowed to go, but had to call the diner when the alarm rang and tell them her mother needed to help her sister birth the baby at home. Rosa was restless, sleeping off and on. She dreamed of her band, the Oak Street Band and how her new cousin would join in as a guitar player. She heard the midwife ring the doorbell. The family wanted the "baby born in the midst of her family, in her own house." Rosa made the call and then began waiting for the baby. She headed for the "lucky chair" to sit and imagine things about the new baby boy that was coming. After a while her mama came to pull her out of her dreams and up the stairs to visit the new baby. They needed a nice place to hold the baby and mama was thinking of buying a new chair. What do you think Rosa thought about replacing that special chair? I loved this heartwarming tale and thought it was the most exceptional story of family love that I'd read in some time. Everyone in Rosa's family had a special place in each other's heart and they were all excited to add another special little man to their family. I loved the way the story unfolded and the artwork was charming. Each page looked like something out of a photo album. Some pages had little drawings of activities in and around the house along its edges. This is a story of "family" that would be wonderful to read in your big, ugly overstuffed chair . . . if you have one!
