The Biggest Table: Making Room for Every Friend

Step into a forest classroom where curious animals discover the joy of making room for more.

The Biggest Table is a celebration of friendship, kindness, and welcoming others. Katie M. Blackburn--a beloved voice from the Coffee + Crumbs community--knows that children long to belong and that it takes courage to ask, "Can I play too?" It also takes kindness to make space when there seems to be none. This story follows a group of adorable animal friends as they learn how a bigger table can mean bigger fun, even if it takes a little creativity. Their wise teacher, Ms. Fernwick, guides the animals on a journey through the forest to discover that shared fun can make a bright day even brighter.
