The Pink House

by Kate Salley Palmer (Illustrator)

The Pink House is an illustrated story of a family's annual vacation to Edisto Beach, SC. The story is told by one of the cousins, and is a warm account of one day when all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and even Grandma, come to the "Pink House" where they swim, go fishing with Uncle Jim, hunt for petrified shark's teeth with Aunt Margaret, sing songs with Aunt Kate, read books, eat the fish and crabs caught in the surf, play games, and then go to bed to await what surprises are washed up by the surf the next day.

Sweet story celebrates the tradition of many families who visit the coast every year with their extended families. This is a cute book to read through the eyes of young children with cousins and aunts and uncles.

I love that this lady lives (literally) right up the road from me. She is a hoot if you ever get to meet her. This book is one of those that (being a beach bum myself) I can completely relate to. I think she watched my family at some point! Great read and wonderful illustrations!

This book is about going to Edisto Island, the beach that we go to every summer with my family. One day we'll have to write one of our own changing the characters to our family. :)
