What happens when the annual family ‘get-together’ commences?

Through lyrical rhyme and colorful, humorous illustrations readers will realize that “The cousins are coming!” — followed by a “dash out the door to meet the crew… with hugs and laughter and a kiss or two. “YUCK!” From ‘rock-paper-scissors’ to unauthorized spying on the parents, the gathering of two families presents relatable interactions between children, some coming-of-age moments, a touch of tenderness, and the building of memories.
