Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about their place in the family or when they express curiosity about who you were as a little girl. It is a perfect choice for quiet moments spent with a grandparent or during a transitional time when a child is outgrowing their toddler years and needs to feel rooted in their heritage. The story follows Katie and her grandmother as they look through a photo album, discovering that the small black and gold chair Katie sits in today has been cherished by generations of women in her family before her. This gentle narrative explores themes of continuity, identity, and the passing of time. It helps young children understand the concept of lineage through a tangible, everyday object, making the abstract idea of history feel personal and accessible. Best suited for ages 4 to 8, it provides a comforting sense of belonging and highlights the special bond between grandmothers and granddaughters. It is a lovely way to encourage your child to see themselves as part of a much larger, loving story.
