Lovely story with a sweet message about reusing and re-purposing the eponymous little blue chair. The inclusion of an interracial couple is a good statement of diversity with no need to call attention to itself.

This is the story of a little blue chair. It follows the chair through it's many owners and uses. It starts with a little boy named Boo. He does everything with his favorite chair until he grows to big for it. His mother puts the little blue chair out on the lawn with a sign that you can take it and a truck driver picks it up. The truck driver sells it to a lady in a junk store where it sits for many years until it's sold to a woman who uses it as a plant stand. When she puts it out for someone to take it ends up on a boat for the captain's daughter to sit on. Over the years it is used on an elephant ride, as a bird feeder, in a contest, on a Ferris wheel, owned by another little boy, borne aloft by balloons, and lands in a garden of daffodils where a familiar face finds it. The chair comes full circle back to Boo and his daughter. This is a lovely story, beautifully illustrated and would make a wonderful addition to any family library.
