Description: Lois Lowry masterfully crafts a multi-generational tale centering on a simple wooden table built from a magnificent tree, passed down through a family’s history. As the table witnesses everyday joys, triumphs, and losses, it draws together far-flung relatives and anchors their collective memory. This gentle, beautifully layered story explores love, heritage, and the enduring objects that shape our lives and connections, inviting readers to reflect on family and belonging.
