The Relative Came by Cynthia Rylant
In a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars. When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer. The Relative Came by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Stephen Gammell was published in 1985. This book has a Caldecott Medal Nominee in 1986, Keystone to Reading Book Award in 1987, California Young Readers Medal Nominee for Primary in 1990.
