Book Synopsis
A collection of Nan Goldin's photographic portraits of children.

Trade Review

"Goldin, true to form, captures situations that are far from what, in the days of analog photography, were called Kodak moments. Boredom, sadness, bashfulness, introversion, exhaustion, and confusion are all depicted, and in images whose formal and lyrical qualities draw from Goldin’s signature aesthetic arsenal, helps them float above the mawkishness you nervously expect to encounter with every page turn but thankfully never do. Goldin’s photographs, as ever, verge on the cinematic. Waves of emotion, movement, color and light wash over and through them... Instead of operatic photo–narratives that pit euphoria against disappointment and tell tales of loss and endurance, we get something sweeter, more appreciative, and wistful... And that is what makes this book, with its mix of beauty, appreciation, and apprehension, an unexpected page–turner."—Marvin Heiferman, Special to CNN

"A hefty, heartwarming, tearjerking and LOL‐inducing love song to the kids Nan has been around... Over the last 30 years... A love‐loaded book."—Dazed & Confused
