This beautiful book helped discuss unhoused people with my daughter. She has asked a lot of questions about the people we see on our daily drives and stories are a great way to help her understand.

A very gentle book that teaches about homelessness, and seeing people for what they are, rather than trying to ignore them.
A woman appears in the village that the little girl, the narrator lives on. She thinks the woman is a queen who has lost her kingdom, and although she is scared of her at first, she and her mother take her food, and listen to her tell stories of other places.
And the little girl says that the queen is protecting the village, which proves true when the woman notices a house fire, and alerts people to it.
For that, the village rewards her by building her a house.
If only life were as easy as it is in picture books.
Good story to teach children that homeless, the unhoused are just like them.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This was an amazing book that I read with my daughter and son about a girl wanting to help a homeless person. She sees this women as “The Queen on our block” and some days the girl and her mom stops by this women to offer her a some food and in return “the queen” tells all these amazing stories she has experienced in her life. One night while everyone was sleeping, something tragic happens and the queen shouts and wakes everyone up. She helped save all these people and in return everyone came together and all helped the queen on the block.
My kids loved the bright and beautiful illustrations. And I loved that there was a lesson for readers to learn.
