Este Es Mi Bolso: Una Historia de Personas Sin Hogar - Paperback
by Roxanne Chester (Author), Abe Matias (Illustrator)
An unhoused person carries a bag through the streets, to a shelter, to a house, to the subway, and the park. With each changing location, the protagonist and their bag also changes, reflecting the various faces and reasons for homelessness and asking the reader to contemplate themes of community, self-reliance, and the meaning of "home."
