Publisher Description: Gold medal winner, 2018 IPPY Awards Gold Medal Winner, 2017 Foreword INDIES Awards Gold Medal winner, Mom's Choice Awards She is "invisible" to everyone around her...except one boy. Homelessness is a problem that is both very visible and, in many ways, invisible. I See You is a wordless picture book that depicts a homeless woman who is not seen by everyone around her -- except for a little boy. Over the course of a year, the boy is witness to all that she endures. Ultimately, in a gesture of compassion, the boy acknowledges her in an exchange in which he sees her and she experiences being seen. In a Note for Parents, Educators, and Neighbors there are discussion questions and additional resources about helping the homeless. Open the door for kids and parents to begin a conversation about homelessness. |
