Not Pop-Pop

After a young boy, Brian, initially mistakes a homeless man for his Pop-Pop while at the library, he thinks about the things his grandfather and Not Pop-Pop share including their bushy brows, their rumbly voices, and their love of books. Contains back matter designed to help answer children's questions and raise their awareness about homelessness.

Description

During a visit to the library, Brian is sure he sees his Pop-Pop around the corner—same eyes, same beard, same bushy eyebrows.

Nope, that's not Pop-Pop!

This man brushes his teeth in the restroom and his sneakers are patched with duct tape. Some people make frowny faces and even call him mean words, but Not Pop-Pop loves books, puzzles, and turtles, just like Brian.

He may not be Brian's pop-pop, but could he be someone's?

Not Pop-Pop also includes a kid-friendly resource for adults to begin conversations about homelessness, empathy, and ways that anyone can make a big difference in the life of a person in need.
