The Cousins Are Coming by Kay Jones

The Cousins Are Comingby Kay Jones, illustrated by Peter Trimarco"... nostalgic picture book ... the energy of an extended-family visit ... capture the chaos." —Kirkus ReviewsWhat happens when the annual family ‘get-together’ commences? Humor, mischief, a twinge of jealousy, an abundance of mayhem, and a healthy dose of pure joy! 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. Kay Jones’ first picture book is more than a playbook for friendship, it also captures the gift of family.Notable Kids PublishingISBN ‎978173585354310" x 8.75" Hardcover32 pages
