Rocking Chair, Rocking Chair by L.A. Kimo and La Shauna Richardson is a lullaby in pictures. Featuring a sweet little boy and his parents, each page travels through the child’s thoughts about his beloved rocking chair. There is magic in this chair – it bonds the parents to their child as they snuggle and rock together. Whether they are reading or simply passing the time, the chair provides a vessel of comfort to them all.
Written with positive intent, the book showcases joy in this child’s imagination. As he rocks, he envisions the motion as that of several modes of transportation. In one such image, the child is the pilot of a little plane soaring through the skies. He also pictures himself soaring in his father’s arms. The chair truly transports him to places in fun ways. Illustrations add warmth to each page. The rich color palette is perfectly suited for the sentiment of the book. Children need to see this family’s modeled affection. Indeed, every page shows the love they share. Many an adult will relish recalling their own childhood rituals as they flip through this short lyrical book. Authors L.A. Kimo and La Shauna Richardson have given parents a sweet bedtime or calm down read that their children are sure to enjoy. With Rocking Chair, Rocking Chair, a routine can be established, especially if the reader has their own glider or rocker to hold a little one in while reading.
