Its a sweet story with a lot of hugging! Who wouldn't love that? The pictures are lively and brightly colored. The title tells it all. This story is about a family that comes to visit their relatives. This book teaches the importance of family and the memories that come out of a family vacation. A family packed up and left Virginia to see their relatives. They hugged and hugged their family members when they arrived. They ate, visited, and spent the night for weeks. It was time to get back home to pick the ripe grapes. Great memories were made together and they look forward to the next trip they get to spend together. This book is fantastic! The illustrations are phenomenal and the story is very relatable. Everyone can relate to a long car ride or a house full of family. Everyone can relate to having to hug your way through a room or share a bed. When I read this book with my students we can stop on just about every page and talk about all of the details in the pictures; their clothes, hair, who is playing what instrument or fixing something or eating something. It is a lovely book with a great message of family togetherness. Even if things are uncomfortable, it is great to spend time with family! The relatives came to see their family members. When they arrived they spent time with many family members. Realistic illustrations and narration bring the story to life. Helps the reader imagine and reflect on times of chaos, fun, love, and quality time as family members spend time with each other.
Cynthia Rilant has some incredible books that I get nostalgic for a time in my childhood. The time when all my relatives came to celebrate a holiday, it was fun. Mostly. We did not have cool summer reunions as the family does in this book. What I did like was celebrating the holidays with a huge, scrumptious meal. The stories were funny or interesting. I learned that my grandfather came from Russia and had to fight in the Japanese- Russian war. He was nine years old. He did not like to discuss this period of time in his life, but that meant I could ask other relatives to see if he told them anything about this time. I learned that Big Mama, my great grandmother, crashed into the window of a car dealership. When the policeman came, she said " Young man I was here in this town before you were born. This is a two way street. You better not write me a ticket." My uncle had to secretly pay the ticket without Big Mama's knowledge. I loved the pictures of the relatives eating together, playing music together, and sleeping together. I always feel nostalgic, because so many of my relatives are deceased now. I remember the good times when we were together. There were plenty of times when heated discussions occurred. When one relative was not speaking to another relative, but I refuse to remember the unhappy times. PriserUppmärksammade listor
