At Maplewood Elementary, lunch tables and playground groups seem set in stone-until a small group of students decides to change that. When Zoe, the new girl at school, struggles to find a place to sit at lunch, Lily notices and invites her in, remembering her own past loneliness.

Together, they launch a movement to make sure no student feels alone at recess, in the cafeteria, or anywhere at school. But not everyone agrees that things need to change.

Perfect for readers ages 8-12, A Seat at the Table is an inspiring story about friendship, inclusion, and standing up for others. With relatable characters and real-world challenges, this heartwarming book encourages young readers to create spaces where everyone belongs. Because everyone deserves a seat at the table.
Jana Guyewski-Lautigar is an elementary school teacher and social worker with a deep commitment to advocacy and justice. After the tragic and suspicious death of her sister, Crystal McCrory Jones, Jana refused to accept the official ruling and embarked on a relentless pursuit of truth. Through research, legal inquiries, and public advocacy, she has worked tirelessly to uncover the facts and demand accountability. With a background in education and social work, Jana understands the importance of amplifying the voices of those who have been silenced. Her firsthand experience navigating systemic challenges has fueled her passion for seeking justice-not only for Crystal but for all families who have been denied answers. Justice Denied is her first book-a powerful, deeply personal account of loss, resilience, and the fight for truth against a system that too often turns a blind eye.
