Nothing Special by Desiree Cooper

3.0

A boy is going to his grandparent's house and is speculating what he will be doing - hoping it is some of his favorite things from home. Grandpa has plans for Jax to do activities from his own childhood such as crabbing, flying kites, and counting fireflies.

The book is great to so how the simple things sometimes are better than more complicated or modern. I really enjoyed the story and the message. After reading the illustrator notes on the pictures I understand their choices, they are just not my favorite. The illustrations are comprised of a mixture of drawings, paintings, and textured textiles all interwoven together. The colors are rich and saturated, they are just not to my taste. Good book though.
