(3) K-3 In simple language and childlike art, this picture book describes the living conditions for street children in Haiti and details some solutions to their plight. An excellent supplementary essay by Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat is directed toward adults, who may be able to share some of its contents with child readers.
