Stay by Bobbie Pyron

4.0

I read this one out loud to Tyler as our bedtime book. It's an OBOB book this year and Tyler was drawn to it because of the cute dog on the cover. What he wasn't expecting was a thoughtful and serious fictionalized account of a young girl's experience with homelessness and the characters she meets during her journey. I love books that widen my child's horizons, opens his eyes to me world views, and encourages him to act with more compassion. He's already such a kind and loving child, he connected quickly with both Piper and Baby. This is an important book for young readers and one that I think will stay with my kiddo for a while.
