Synopsis
In this sweet and tender picture book, a trip to the library turns into an adventure in kindness and a reminder that people experiencing homelessness deserve compassion and respect—just like every human.
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.

About the Author
Angela De Groot was born in England, grew up in South Africa, and now lives in New Jersey with her husband and sons. When she’s not writing picture books and poems, you’ll find her in the garden, digging in the dirt, and talking to the birds. A lifelong lover of reading, Angela teaches English as a second language and basic literacy at her local library.
MacKenzie Haley is an illustrator, runner, and self-proclaimed cat lover. She received her bachelor's in fine arts in illustration from the University of Dayton and currently lives in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, with her two codependent cats, Booger and Abby, and an overflowing closet full of cat t-shirts.

Yay! It’s library day.
The doors SWISH open.
I slide my old books down the chute.
I ZOOM to find new ones.
I ZIG by crawling babies
and ZAG past knitting nanas until . . .
Plop!
I land in my favorite spot.
