This world can never have enough books that shine a light on how important the family unit is. Sadly, family reunions are all but lost in our generation, but this book brings them back just a little bit. Your children will enjoy seeing games the cousins play, the hilarious amounts of jell-o each family brought, and more. The feeling of belonging oozes from the pages, and it is an overall sweet read.
