本書獲凱迪克榮譽獎。
作者Vera B. Williams畢業於美國加州著名的藝術改革先鋒黑山學院，十分關心社會貧富與種族議題。
故事以小女孩自述的角度出發，描述家裡有一個大玻璃罐，媽媽每天從餐館下班後，會把收到的硬幣投到玻璃罐中，奶奶也會把買菜剩下的零錢投入。舊家遭受祝融之災的她們，失去了一切，只能重新來過，全家齊心存錢，只為了買一張舒服的沙發，讓辛苦工作的媽媽回家後可好好休息。
繪本的最後一幕，是奶奶、媽媽、女兒一起窩在沙發上。三代同堂、三個女生的情誼不言而喻。書頁中圍繞的各色鬱金香，也象徵著母愛輕柔又溫暖的力量，安撫著所有失去過，或正在辛苦路上的人們。即使只是一張沙發，也是家的歸屬、讓身心休憩的天堂。
