Frances in the Country
Frances is a city kid, which is hard because city walls aren’t for climbing, city rooms aren’t for running, and city shops and parks are just too crowded. But then she visits her cousins in the country, where she finds cats for chasing, roads for racing down and ladders for leaping. Maybe Frances can be home in more than one place! Illustrated by Sean Qualls, and published by Neal Porter Books/Holiday House in 2022.
