A Chair for My Mother, the hugely successful prequel to this book, is one of my favorites and I look forward to it every year as part of the 2nd grade tutoring curriculum at the school. Obviously I snapped up this sequel as soon the library put it into circulation. Although the characters are the same, the story and illustrations aren't as good. Where A Chair for My Mother draws children in with the pictures and story, this one seems to ramble around and not have a tight enough focus.

We picked this up because my daughter wanted a book about birthing babies...oh boy! So I saw this book, which is a nice continuation of A Chair For My Mother, and it features an aunt who has a home birth (appropriate for young audiences). The chair is back and filled with more people and history then ever.
