“Gentle story about cousins visiting family members who live far away. All the hugging and talking that transpires fill the pages of this beautiful story!”

Our class thinks:
When the relatives came it was funny when they slept all in the same room. They hugged for two pages. It seemed like three hours to us. They had a big dinner, like we have on Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

“I received this book as a gifrt from my sister- in-law when she and her family came to visit from Alabama! She put "Alabama" over Virginia. A real delight, many happy memories. Will read to my grandchildren.”

“I love this book. I relive all the anticipation of waiting for the relatives to come for a visit. How extraordinary the time was while they visited, and the emptiness of the house and my heart when they head home.”
