Swimming, going to the park, hanging out with your friends, fairs, carnivals, exploring or just laying around in the warm weather.
Summertime is also a time when you go on vacation to visit family or when family comes to visit you.
I loved it when my mom and I would travel to Ohio and Kentucky to visit relatives: aunts and uncles and especially my cousins.
It was exciting and I looked forward to it each year.
In Here Come The Cousins by Maggie Hutchings and Sarah Zweck and published by Thames & Hudson, a bunch of cousins come to visit and boy do they have fun.
From going to the beach, visiting grandma and grandpa, swimming, snorkeling, jumping in the ocean from a big rock, relaxing in a hammock, sleep-overs, playing games and sadly-having to say goodbye until next summer.
The author and artist capture perfectly the wild, wonderful and wacky time cousins have when they get together.
The prose is simple, the illustrations childlike and the story goes straight to the heart.
Seeing cousins is fun when you’re young and if you’re lucky-very lucky, even as an adult getting together with family is just as much fun as it was when you were a kid.
1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
