The One with the Scraggly Beard by Lynn Scurfield, Elizabeth Withey
5.0

This book is a wonderful way to talk to kids about someone who is homeless. The author is an authentic voice who has had to share the story with her kids. The many with the scraggly beard are not someone to be afraid of, but a person. It doesn't try to give explanations to homelesness, and isn’t preachy, it's just here that there is a person who is like us, with a slight difference. The main protagonists are white and the one with the scraggly beard is up to interpretation.
