YOUNGER FICTION
McGill, Alice

Here We Go Round

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Shane Evans. Seven-year-old Roberta from Washington, D.C., has to stay with her grandparents on their North Carolina farm for the last month of her mother's pregnancy. She basks in her grandparents' affection, makes friends, learns local customs, and gradually accepts the idea of a new baby. Psychological insights develop haltingly, but relationships and period details of the 1940s ring true, helped by a few black-and-white illustrations.
