Hi everyone,
My original request was for a book on homelessness for our guidance
counselor to use with students K-5 in preparation for a Walk for the
Homeless. I realized that I probably was not clear enough in my original
request as I was really looking for books that you would recommend rather
than simply a list of available titles- but you all came through
wonderfully! and I've been able to compile a list of books that other
media specialists can recommend on this topic. I'm going to pass these
along to our guidance counselor, but I'm also going to keep the list for
when I'm ordering next year. This is such a relevant issue for our school
- I really appreciate all of the responses. Thank you again...
I received recommendations to look at Amazon and Follett and two websites
were suggested:
tinyurl.com/5memj
and
nancykeane.com/rl/216.htm
The titles mentioned most often were December by Eve Bunting, The lady in
the box by Ann McGovern, The Teddy Bear by David McPhail, A Shelter in our
Car by Monica Gunning, and The King of Dragons by Carol Fenner.
