This book handles homelessness well.As far as street kids go, Zettie seems unjaded and sweet-hearted.
Mom and daughter are forced to live in their car while mom looks for work. Fantastic artwork and a great way to introduce homelessness to kids.
Loved this book. Tough subject of homelessness treated tenderly.
Poignant story, distracting illustrations.
