Search - The Family Under the Bridge

A hobo befriends a homeless family. Interesting view of life on the streets and lessons about what is important.

My children loved this book! It made them think about a different way of life than ours. A very poignant look at what being homeless might be like. We imagined ourselves in their shoes, and we grew to love the main character - an old homeless man who imagines himself to be just fine without any family. But he is transformed and the ending is wonderful!

A timeless story of homelessness, and empathy for others. A great read-aloud.

This is a great book. Its at an elementary school reading level.

This is a Sonlight Core K book.

There was once an old man named Armand who lived under a bridge in Paris. The children who lived under the bridge knew a true friend when they saw one, even if he was a little grumpy to begin with. Has Armand found himself a ready-made family?
