Omschrijving

This is My Bag: A Story of the Unhoused is a poignant and visually captivating picture book that brings to life the diverse experiences of unhoused individuals through the lens of a single bag. As the story unfolds, readers journey with various protagonists through the streets, shelters, houses, subways, and parks, each setting revealing a new face and a new reason for homelessness. The bag, a constant companion, symbolizes both the burdens and hopes carried by those without a permanent home.

Key Features:
Heartfelt Narrative This story subtly yet powerfully addresses themes of community, self-reliance, and the essence of what constitutes "home," fostering empathy and understanding in young readers.
Stunning Illustrations The puppet-like, warm art style enriches the narrative, adding depth and emotional resonance to each character's journey.
Educational Back Matter Includes discussion questions designed to engage children in meaningful conversations about homelessness, an author's note detailing the inspiration behind the story, and practical suggestions for assisting the unhoused community.
Charitable Contribution A portion of the book's proceeds supports nonprofits like the National Coalition for the Homeless and Homeless Connect, allowing readers to contribute to real-world solutions.

Benefits to the Reader:
Promotes Empathy and Awareness By humanizing the experiences of the unhoused, the book encourages young readers to see beyond stereotypes and develop compassion for those in challenging situations.
Sparks Critical Thinking The included discussion questions help children explore complex social issues in an age-appropriate way, promoting critical thinking and dialogue.

This is My Bag: A Story of the Unhoused is not just a book--it's an invitation to understand, empathize, and act, making it an essential addition to any child's library.
