(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Colin Bootman. A closely knit family enjoys quiet comforts in a collection of short episodes narrated by a young girl. Visiting with aunts young and old, planning a doll and cat wedding, cooking corn-pudding and crab-apple jelly, and eating a midnight feast are all part of the fun. The contemporary African-American family in a country setting is realistically portrayed in the lively oil paintings.
