The Old Man by Sarah V
4.0

Age: K-2nd grade
Tough Issue: Homelessness

A sensitive and honest portrayal of homelessness from the perspective of a man that spends his days wandering from one spot to the next--hungry, cold, and alone. The muted brown and gray artwork captures the man's hardship--and allows the inquisitive kindness of a little girl to pop.
