Click here for our low price guaranteeīinding Type: Hardcover - See All Available Formats & Editions Publisher: Atheneum Books for Young Readers Ages 4–8.Contributor(s): Reidy, Jean (Author), Cummins, Lucy Ruth (Illustrator) The theme of connection powers both text and image as depicted in a candid family shot of children, including one using a wheelchair, gleefully roasting marshmallows with their grandparents: “Eyes so bright and smiles aglow./ Laughs like someone else we know./ Family ties so strong and true.// Part of me/ is part of you.” While Reidy’s chipper rhymes provide a page-turning pace, it’s Cotterill’s crafty visuals that make this book stand out.
Featuring multiple families of varying skin tones, the dollhouse-like scenes burst with an animated energy, loosely organized to map the contour of an active day out, from morning greetings to bedtime stories. “A million kisses!/ Hugs! Hooray!/ Our grand day/ begins this way.” Sidewalk chalk art, baking, reading, and dress-up-there’s no limit to the fun that can be had with grandparents, suggest Reidy’s declarative couplets and Cotterill’s distinctive hand-built, three-dimensional sets captured in brightly lit photographs.
