Smith’s tales, mostly drawn from his childhood, are true, yet they serve as parables because “they give truth flavor by attaching names, faces, and geographical locations to abstract notions and emotional realities.” His recollections serve as a powerful tool to recapture those magical moments that lay hidden within our cluttered lives.

Download or read book The Welcome Chair written by Rosemary Wells and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An eloquent account of the American immigrant experience.” —Booklist (starred review) “Deserves to become a modern classic.” —BookPage (starred review) “A resounding welcome to immigrants.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Based in part on a 100-year-old family journal, Rosemary Wells brings to life a story that the diary’s fragile pages tell. It’s the story of a wooden rocking chair handmade in about 1825 by her great-great-grandfather, an immigrant Jewish boy who made his way to America from Germany in the early 1800s. In 1807, Sam Siegbert is born in southern Germany. Sam’s favorite pastime is carpentry, much to his father’s displeasure. His mother says he has a gift from God in his hands. After moving to America, he builds a wooden chair with the word WILLKOMMEN on the back. The chair’s back panel was later marked with welcomes by four generations of the family in four different languages. After the family lost track of the old chair, the author created a new life for it among new owners from other corners of the world. All the families who loved the chair came to America, escaping religious conformity, natural disasters, tyrannies, war, and superstition. In its lifetime, the rocking chair, with its earliest word WILLKOMMEN, stood for openness, hospitality, and acceptance to all who owned it or rocked safely in its embrace.

However the older children will read and explore the excitement on their own. They will learn of new lands, new vocabulary words plus foreign languages in a fun way.
