The Biggest Table

Step into a forest classroom where curious animals discover the joy of making room for more.

The Biggest Table is a celebration of friendship, kindness, and welcoming others. Katie M. Blackburn—a beloved voice from the Coffee + Crumbs community—knows that children long to belong and that it takes courage to ask, “Can I play too?” It also takes kindness to make space when there seems to be none. This story follows a group of adorable animal friends as they learn how a bigger table can mean bigger fun, even if it takes a little creativity. Their wise teacher, Ms. Fernwick, guides the animals on a journey through the forest to discover that shared fun can make a bright day even brighter.

In The Biggest Table, children will:

• Learn to include others, even when it feels hard
• Explore adorable, nostalgic illustrations of woodland animals
• Discover that inviting others into your day—in big moments and small—helps everyone grow

This heartwarming picture book is perfect for:

• Children ages 4–8 learning about sharing, empathy, and friendship
• Preschool and kindergarten teachers, librarians, and caregivers
• Classroom read-alouds and discussions about including others
• Families looking for meaningful stories about kindness and belonging

With gentle rhymes, charming characters, and a timeless message, The Biggest Table invites kids and families to celebrate community. Read this book together and help little ones discover that there can always be room for one more.
