A Chair for my Mother is a Caldecott Award winner for its beautiful colors and illustrations. I would use this book in my classroom as part of the library or as a way to talk about families and different events and values that families find important. The book also has an important theme of working hard and saving up for something special that can be discussed and related to other books.
