Reach for this book when your child starts noticing who is invited to the birthday party and who is not, or when they feel the sting of being left out. Based on a true story from the life of educator Dan Gill, this book explains why he always kept one empty chair in his classroom. It traces back to a pivotal childhood moment when he and his friend were denied entry to a birthday party because of the color of their skin. It is a powerful tool for teaching kids that inclusion is a choice we make every day. By framing justice through the lens of a physical chair, it gives children a concrete way to understand and practice belonging. This is an essential read for building empathy and helping children navigate the complexities of social fairness in their own school lives.
