The couch in the yard / words by Kate Hoefler ; illustrations by Dena Seiferling.
"In this heartfelt and lyrical book, a family in a small Appalachian town spends the evening preparing for a special nighttime tradition. As the sun sets and the sky slips into dusk, they load up a spare couch on a rusty old car and drive into the mountains. With a little imagination and the magic of moonlight, their plain old couch transforms into something so much more. Animated by the beauty of seemingly abandoned things and the dignity of the people who inhabit these often-overlooked areas, The Couchin the Yard is a deeply layered story, a lilting and lyrical tribute to the beauty of an oft-overlooked American culture"--Provided by publisher.
