"Rylant delights in the simple joys of living with her grandparents
in the Appalachian Mountains: fresh cornbread, the swimming hole,
bathing in the tin tub, snakes, and the community church.
Surrounding all of these memories is the loving relationship with
her grandparents. Warmly rendered illustrations complement the
lyrical text."--School Library Journal
"An evocative remembrance of the simple pleasures in country
living; splashing in the swimming hole, taking baths in the
kitchen, sharing family times, each is eloquently portrayed here in
both the misty-hued scenes and in the poetic text."--Association
