The Empty Chair at the Table follows Dewey Does, a young athlete from the sports-loving town of Doesville, as he faces the toughest challenge of his life-the loss of his father. Dewey's world has always revolved around sports, where teamwork, practice, and determination guide him. But nothing has prepared him for the emotions that come with grief.

Through moments of sadness, confusion, and even anger, Dewey navigates the empty spaces left behind by his father's absence. With the support of his close-knit community, his mother, and an unexpected friend who shares a similar loss, Dewey learns that grief is not something to overcome-it's something to understand, carry, and honor.

Grief is complex, especially for children who may not have the words to describe what they're feeling. The Empty Chair at the Table serves as a bridge between emotions and understanding, offering young readers a story that mirrors their own struggles while providing comfort and hope. It acknowledges that grief doesn't have an easy fix, but through support, love, and remembrance, we learn to live with it.
