Violet loves her family’s kitchen table. She loves how people gather around it, singing, laughing, celebrating, and making memories around it. But one day, she notices that the table is empty more often than it is surrounded by people. The less her family uses it, the smaller it becomes, until one day the table vanishes completely! Will Violet be able to work with her family to rebuild the special table they once had?

A tender story about a little girl’s yearning to make memories with those who mean the most to her. Readers of all ages can be reminded of the preciousness of quality time and the importance of finding our way back to each other.
