"The concept of homelessness is brought down to the youngest child's level. This is a nonthreatening and simple introduction to the topic for young children who have no prior exposure to homelessness. Simplistic but heartfelt, earnest, and a discussion starter." -- Kirkus Reviews "A beautiful example of how we can and should all help each other regardless of our differences. This book fills the need for stories that demonstrate civic engagement, what it might be like to be homeless and all alone in the world, and that one person absolutely can make a difference." -- Youth Services Book Review Starred Review "With her patchwork dress, messy gray bun, and reading glasses, Miss Pinkeltink resembles everyone's favorite granny in this rhyming, warmhearted introduction to charity, social outreach, and homelessness. It includes links to organizations created by young people and helpful tips for families and children interested in making a difference in their communities." -- Foreword Review "A wonderfully charming and fully entertaining picture book for children ages 5-9 by author Patty Brozo and illustrator Ana Ochoa, Miss Pinkeltink's Purse is especially recommended for family, elementary school, and community library collections for young readers.
