Nothing Special by Desiree Cooper

5.0

This book is a peace I didn't know I needed. That I didn't know WE needed. When a boy goes down south to visit his grandparents. It seems to simple, but to many of it just that means so much. Reading this to my kids brought us all so much joy. Them learning about the Great Migration from a part of the book started a fun and light hearted conversation about tradition and family. I don't know how but this book made me FEEL the slowness that you feel when you are down south.....the ease.....the need not to rush to do anything. The peace that comes with just moving at your own pace, with a purpose. I can see this book becoming one of the classics, AS IT SHOULD.....please write more of these.....we need it.
