Using the same measured pace and detail-oriented approach as in his Country Fair and Ballpark, Cooper brings us to an empty lot to watch the emergence of a building. Loose watercolor and pencil sketches offset the minutiae of the text, and, as before, the focus is on small pieces of information observed through the eyes of a child and explained in a spare, poetic style.
