The Chairs

A Story About the Power of Community

Britta Teckentrups most timely story yetisa warm and deeply felt tale of belonging, exclusion, and the power of community.

One day, a yellow chair appears in a sunlit forest clearing and nobody knows how it got there. Then another arrives, and another. As the clearing fills with creatures of every kind, a tender and joyful home takes shape, built on the simple pleasure of sharing a space with others.
But when exclusionary signs begin to appear overnight, that spirit is put to the test and the animals must find the strength to reclaim what they have built together. With her characteristic layered textures, glowing forest light, and richly populated scenes that reward slow looking, Teckentrup transforms a deceptively simple setting into a fully realized world where each creature has a face, a feeling, and a place to call its own.
