If you’re looking for more enjoyable family connections this year, Our Table by Peter H. Reynolds is the book for you.

This is the story of Violet, who had a magic table that disappeared as her family stopped spending time together. They were watching tv or their phones and not gathering around the table like they used to. So Violet, a kid (not even a big kid!) finds a way to get everyone off their screens by engaging them in the things they love. We loved how Violet identified something that she wanted and found a creative solution. Way to problem solve Violet!
Of course, our family loves anything by Peter H. Reynolds. Say Something, The Dot, I Am Human (and all the other I Am books) are favorites and in constant rotation.
Our Table was a great bedtime read for this preschool family! Would be good for 3-7 year olds. Also great for siblings and nontraditional families! Available on Amazon and Bookshop.
