Inside the book

A peek between the covers

What to pack, to wear? Dirty shorts. Dirty shirt. Check. Naw. I won't have fun. Long ride in the car. Liscense plates from near and far.

People I don't know. Dad shrugs. Mom hugs. Not me. No. Force field activate. Strangers look like me. Noses, eyes, fingers, lips too. Short, tall. Is that me?

A familiar voice. He whispers, 'PopPop's little man.' A bear kiss, a hug. PopPop's old wallet. Ten dollars in my pocket. Cha-Ching! Thanks, PopPop.

A picture for the scrapbook. Clowning and making faces with my cuz. Dance contest between young, old. Big laughs fill the air. Grandma's strut beats all.

“Fun art, great celebration of family and especially family reunions. This was all together joyful and a great reminder that the unknown can become wonderful and cherished if you give it a chance! At times, the text felt a little choppy, but as a whole, this was an enjoyable read.”
