Nothing Special
Desiree Cooper
During a summer visit in the South, a grandson spends time with PopPop and Nana. Their ordinary shared activities become the focus of a story about the family’s close relationship. Set over a summer weekend on the Virginia coast, the book uses photographed textile figures, all made from repurposed materials, to portray the time the child spends with his grandparents. The story centers on everyday family life, connection across generations, and the small moments the three share together.
