A-b-c Virginia McBurney

Ginnie McBurney's been writing and illustrating creatively for as long as she can remember. This book is a loving collection of some of her charming, humorous, and deeply felt writings, many of which are accompanied by clever characters gleaned from nature and from a life blessed by God. Some favorite times with Aunt Annie were helping her sell flowers and tomatoes at the farmers market on the North Side of Pittsburgh. Also, each Memorial Day, Ginnie and her cousins, Shirley and Carole, went with Aunt Annie to St. John's Cemetery in Bauerstown, where Uncle Rudy would take all of them and a truckload of flowers to sell there for people who came to decorate graves of loved ones. When the kids were not selling, they played hide-and-seek among the tombs. Ginnie offers this book as a loving tribute to the close-knit family that holds her heart to this day.
