A parent should reach for this book when they feel their family is growing disconnected, with everyone lost in their own worlds of work, school, and screens. Our Table uses a simple, powerful metaphor to explore this modern problem: as a family drifts apart, their physical dining table begins to shrink. The story is told through the eyes of young Violet, who notices the growing distance and decides to take gentle, creative action to bring everyone back together. With its soft illustrations and heartfelt message, this book is perfect for ages 4-8. It opens a non-judgmental conversation about the importance of being present for one another and models how even a small voice can remind a family of the joy of connection.
