“The Relatives Came” by Cynthia Rylant, 1993
“In a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars.
When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer.”
As a member of a HUGE extended family (I have 50 first cousins. FOR REALS), this book is so familiar and lovely.
Paperback, does have some marks of being read. Mar on cover (pictured) but overall very good condition.
