After a fire destroys Rosa’s home, she and her mother and grandmother save all of their spare change in a great big jar. When the jar is full, they are going to buy a perfect, roomy, comfy chair for everyone to enjoy. Vera B. Williams’s classic Caldecott Honor Book still shines with tenderness and love. Also available in a Spanish language edition.
