As days shorten & grow colder I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to have a safe home. I don't often shout out my own books but #teachers #librarians & #parents have told me #LilyAndThePaperMan is a good conversation starter about about those experiencing #homelessness. #kidlit #canadiankidlit #pb
Cover of picture book Lily and the Paper Man written by Rebecca Upjohn, illustrated by Renné Benoit shows a young dark haired girl in a pink hat & mittens, a blue striped scarf & red jacket holding tight to a grownup's arm as she looks fearfully over her shoulder at a man selling papers, wearing a coat with hiles, no hat or gloves. It is snowing. Pigeons, people and a cityscape are visible in the background.

The collective empathy of what a group of kids with their teacher can accomplish with compassion in their hearts for their community is such a boon. I'm grateful that my #pb #LilyAndThePaperMan was part of their conversation. @secondstory.bsky.social #kidlit 🇨🇦 www.aldergrovestar.com/home/video-s...
