Wood’s charming story in rhyme features Grandfather Afi’s
Big Red Chair. The chair is special for all family members, for hugs, naps,
playtime; even laundry.
The tale begins with “We did not want a big red chair” until
the time came Grandmother Ammi decides she would like the chair since Afi does.
When Afi needs to be in the hospital, he misses his Big Red Chair. And when God
calls Afi home, the rest of the family remember Afi’s love, especially when they
use his chair.
More than a family tale, Wood’s book shares the love of a
special grandfather who leaves fond memories in the everyday item they all
enjoyed: his favorite chair. The pictures used to illustrate the book are a
treasure and nearly any family can relate to them. A discussion guide meant to
help young ones recall their friends or family members with love is included.
