On Our Street

Key Selling Points

This book offers an age-appropriate and straightforward introduction to the complex topic of homelessness. The World Around Us series discusses difficult topics through an organic conversation starting with a common observation and continuing with follow-up questions that would naturally come from a young child. Sidebars define larger concepts for further discussion with older and more curious children. The author is a practicing child psychologist who is well known for her Just Enough series and the rest of The World Around Us series, and is a regular contributor to HuffPost, Global News and CBC. On Our Street was shortlisted for the Bolen Books Children's Book Prize, was a CCBC starred selection and was commended as a Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People.
