Serious Conversations

This morning we read Fly Away Home by, Eve Bunting. It's a story about a homeless man and his son who live in an airport. They try to go unnoticed so that they don't get kicked out. The children received the story very well - it's extremely well written. However, I think they were a little taken back about the family being homeless. They looked almost shocked as I read. You may want to reread the story as a family so you can discuss homelessness further.

P.S. Eve Bunting is a wonderful and prolific author. You might enjoy other books by her as well.
