The Blue Velvet Chair illustrated by Aaron Marin

Illustrated by Aaron Marin and written by Rio Cortez, this book is a beautiful and nostalgic story about a girl who looks out of her window, observing the world from the comfort of her favourite blue velvet chair.

In the morning, a young child opens her eyes, and, after one biiiiig streeeeetch, heads straight for her favorite place in the house: the blue velvet chair. Perched from the chair set by the living room window, the child daydreams about each season of the year and the changes that come with them. A now-snowy roof was once pelted by the slick rain of spring showers. Icy windows will once again transform into conveyors of sunshine and warmth against her skin.

And just as the seasons change, the child will continue to change too. But one thing will always remain the same: the coziness of the blue velvet chair.
