The Hickory Chair

32 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | February, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-590-52248-5 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Benny Andrews. After Gran dies, Louis, who is blind, chooses to keep her favorite hickory chair as a reminder of her love for and special understanding of him. It isn't until many years later that he discovers Gran's note willing the chair to him inside its seat. The story, with its distinctive oil and collage illustrations, has appeal, though the plot isn't entirely convincing.
