Rosa's Grandma is sick in bed, and the big chair in the living room is usually empty now. So is the family's money jar. Rosa is worried: how can she help? One thing that makes Grandma feel better is hearing Rosa play music with her friends. She says it makes her feel like a girl again, dancing at a party. This gives Rosa an idea. If Grandma loves their music, maybe people would pay to hear them! And that's the beginning of the Oak Street Band.

The jar of coins is full. The day has come to buy the chair--the big, fat, comfortable, wonderful chair they have been saving for. The chair that will replace the one that was burned up--along with everything else--in the terrible fire.

A book of love and tenderness filled with the affirmation of life.
