Come into the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Decorative Arts and Design galleries for an in-person morning story time with Alyssa Velazquez reading A Chair for My Mother by Vera Williams, followed by a making activity for children 12 and under.

A girl wants to buy her mom a new chair for their apartment—the kind of chair her mother deserves after being on her feet all day in the Blue Tile Diner. Celebrate Mother’s Day with this heartfelt story about care and the crowning moments between a mother and daughter.
