A young girl looks out on the world from her favorite chair in this "quiet meditation on the sweet delight of simply observing the changing world" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) by award-winning poet and New York Times bestselling author Rio Cortez. 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.
