When Mom's chair by the window becomes empty, Mika notices the space she left behind.
At first, the chair is only a reminder that someone she loves is no longer there.
But little by little, Mika begins noticing something else.
A familiar song while washing dishes.
A recipe remembered in the kitchen.
A small act of kindness.
A story told again.
A gentle way of caring for someone else.
As ordinary family life continues, Mika discovers that the people we love can leave more behind than memories. Their words, habits, kindness, and lessons can become part of how we live-and part of what we pass on.
The Chair That Stayed Full is a gentle illustrated story about grief, remembrance, family love, and discovering how the care we receive can continue to shape who we become.
With warmth and sensitivity, Mika's story creates space for young children to explore loss without telling them exactly how grief should look or how quickly it should change.
Part of The Little Lights Collection, this thoughtful read-aloud story is created for children ages 4-8 and the parents, caregivers, and teachers who walk beside them.
