My Cousins My World

I have more cousins than I can count on my fingers <i>a</i><i>nd </i>toes.<br><br>Quiet cousins and loud cousins. <br>Dark cousins and fair cousins. <br>Young cousins and old cousins.<br><br>I have cousins who are near. <br>And some who are far. <br><br>But even those who are far feel near. <br>Because memories of them surround me, wrapping me up like a warm blanket.<br> <br>From wild campouts to boisterous family gatherings, the adventures and experiences that bind cousins together are rich and lifelong. They are our first friends, and our forever friends. <br><br>A joyful celebration of family from debut author Sharara Attai, gloriously illustrated by CBCA award-winning illustrator Michelle Pereira.
