When the Cousins Came

What I liked the most was the little hurts and slights Lila felt and how true that is not only for little kids but even adults feel that way. It seemed very real to me. I enjoyed the walk and the fireflies. I liked thinking about how so many adventures can be fraught with sadness. I liked it a whole lot.Thanks,

A wonderful story and beautiful illustrations. This book should be a part of every library and personal collection of children's books.

Love how this sweet story speaks to the way differences that make us feel like an outsider can instead enrich our lives with new experiences. The illustrations evoke the wonder of childhood adventures with bright, vibrant colors and convey the movement and emotion in each scene. Makes for a fun family read! Also check out Fish for Jimmy by the same author.

Love the story and illustrations. My cousins have always played a special role in my life, and this book captures the beauty of family connections and embracing differences.

In this delightful book by Katie Yamasaki, cousins discover commonality amidst their differences with joyful illustrations celebrating diversity!

Great book! My boys (4 & 6) love the story! The story felt familiar to them because they related to the characters. Well done!

I am a preschool teacher, and this book was perfect to illustrate anti bias and tolerant curriculum in an age appropriate manner The illustrations are exceptional!

Beautifully illustrated and written! A story kids can relate to about a visit with cousins.

For adults, the beautiful illustrations are a real treat, and Lila's story will bring back a lot of childhood memories.For Kids, it's a total hit with great learning about friendship and self confidence - must have!
