The Cardboard Shack Beneath The Bridge: Helping Children Understand Homelessness

by Tim Huff

This book captures all that Tim has seen in his years working on the street with the homeless in a form children can easily understand. Homelessness has been called one of the greatest tragedies of our time. In an age of prosperity and plenty, hundreds of thousands of people, continue to find themselves homeless. Tim Huff has been called, by several national papers, as “not just another outreach worker, but a tireless activist for the cause of the homeless.”

I learned that we can introduce tough concepts to our children and/or students and they can wrestle with the same deep struggles we have with issues like homelessness. I really feel that this book could be the beginning of a strong curriculum dealing with poverty on a kid's level. Great book, I would recommend it to anyone, especially because it is not overtly religious.

Poignant and educational, Tim Huff shares with children what it's like to "live on the street". A great book to read with your child.
