Still a Family: A Story about Homelessness

New York Public Library Best Books for Kids 2017

A family has fallen on hard times and are living in different homeless shelters. But even though they are separate, they are still a family.

A little girl and her parents have lost their home and must live in a homeless shelter. Even worse, due to a common shelter policy, her dad must live in a men's shelter, separated from her and her mom. Despite these circumstances, the family still finds time to be together. They meet at the park to play hide-and-seek, slide on slides, and pet puppies. While the young girl wishes for better days when her family is together again under a roof of their very own, she continues to remind herself that they're still a family even in times of separation.
