Pictures from Our Vacation

the long version

A family goes on a holiday to the family farm to stay with grandparents. The mother gives her daughter and son cameras so they can take sticker photos of their holiday for their notebooks. And while they are at the farm there is a family get-together so they meet up with all their cousins and other relatives. The little girl finds that the best things can't be photographed and these precious memories have to be stored in your mind. This is beautifully illustrated by the author, and a gently humorous story with a lovely message about family and how life is made up of doing ordinary things.
