Sasha Sentz loves bringing stories to life through words, pictures, and imagination. Inspired by the “lonely chairs” she’s spotted on her adventures, Sasha created The Lonely Little Chair to share a message of kindness, courage, and belonging with young readers. This book is the first in a five-book series, each one exploring new lessons through gentle storytelling and whimsical art. When she’s not writing, Sasha enjoys playing musical instruments, painting, tending to her flower garden, and spending time with family. She hopes her stories remind children and adults everywhere that even the smallest things can hold big magic.

In The Lonely Little Chair by Sasha Sentz, a simple wooden chair lives in a warm old house on Maple Lane. Once cherished for holding books and crayons, it now sits dusty and neglected, sadly gazing out the window as the world goes by. It dreams of being valued again. Then one day, its whole life changes. Has the unseen little chair finally found someone who notices it and gives it a chance to shine once again? This gentle storybook explores universal themes of longing, hope, and the simple magic that can be found in ordinary things. The Lonely Little Chair is a heartfelt invitation to discover beauty in overlooked places and the comfort of connection.
Reading The Lonely Little Chair by Sasha Sentz felt like being wrapped in a soft blanket on a cozy afternoon. It evokes a range of emotions, from sadness and loneliness to happiness and pride. It lingers with you, making you reflect on life. I also believe there’s some foreshadowing with how parents likely feel once their children leave the nest. The writing is soothing in an almost poetic way, balancing how you’re supposed to think while reading it. Additionally, I appreciated the vibrant illustrations that perfectly complement the text. An additional copy of the story is meant for coloring. Children will love making their own version of the tale. This touching journey speaks to any child who has ever felt overlooked or forgotten, offering quiet reassurance that everyone and everything has a moment to shine.
