At Our Table

A parent might reach for this book when their family is navigating the emotional upheaval of a move or feels a sense of disconnection. "At Our Table" centers on a family who has just relocated to a new city. Their beloved kitchen table, a keeper of past memories, feels cold and empty in their new home, mirroring their own feelings of loneliness. The story gently unfolds as the family comes together to make dumplings, a cherished tradition that rekindles their connection and warmth. This simple act of cooking and sharing not only strengthens their family bond but also opens the door to new friendships with their neighbors. It's a reassuring and beautifully illustrated story for ages 6 to 9 that models how traditions can be anchors during change and how sharing can build a new community.
