For fans of Sophie Blackall’s Farmhouse comes a gorgeous story of one table and the life that grows around it.

This moving picture book traces a table and its transformation: from a seed to a tree to a treasured object in a home. Strong and stable through the years, the table becomes a space for being together: for birthday parties and science projects, and meals big and small. With captivating text and lush illustrations, This Table will inspire conversations about the everyday, ordinary objects in our lives, and their role in creating lifelong memories.

The table was strong and stable.
It was placed in the middle of a room in the middle of a house, and life grew up around it.
It was perfect for birthday cakes
and catching a slice of morning light,
for drawing imaginary worlds, and unfolding maps to discover real ones.
