When the relatives come bumping up from Virginia, the house fills with people and hugs. There are so many people that meals have to be eaten in rotation, and arms and legs get tangled at bedtime! When summer ends and the relatives leave, beds feel "too big and too quiet," yet we know that the relatives will return next summer. Gammel's scratchy, messy illustrations capture the boisterous and loving togetherness.
