Marvelous book about a Paris hobo and 3 little red headed kids who help each other. Would be a good Hallmark movie but without the romance!

Sugar finds herself in foster care after her mom and her lose their home. While on the road, she adopts a little dog named Shush, who is going to be a helper dog.

I love that these books meant for kids do not shy away from tough topics that some children face.

I picked this up somewhere, maybe at a Free Little Library and it looks promising. Makes me think of Gigot, the old movie, set in France. I like stories where someone helps orphans. It's a really old kids book.

TheBookHippie Oh I love this one. I hope you enjoy it! 2w
KCofKaysville @TheBookHippie. Thanks. Does seem good

Jay is an artist; lives his life as one (many?) experience-immersed art project/s. When Covid hits, he is in NYC just barely surviving when he delivers groceries to a wealthy enclave — he comes face 2 face with his lover Alice from 20+ years past who had run off with his best friend. I liked it mostly for amazing sentences but the drug use was extremely off-putting to me. Lots of interesting thoughts on “what IS art?” 🖼️ Low pick #Aug2025 #ToF

The vividness of these radishes provoked me to take this picture, continuing my habit of posing my books with gardens, plants, flowers, produce. This is my last book for #ToF and it is already capturing my attention; page 10. This will be my 3rd by this author. I expect it to be interesting, philosophical, culturally relevant.

BkClubCare P.S. I dislike radishes 🫜 3mo
Tamra Oh, gorgeous! I love radishes. 3mo
HodgepodgeandMiscellany Omg—that picture has me salivating! I call radishes “nature‘s candy” — love them!!! 3mo
BkClubCare @Tamra - yes, my eye really appreciates the bright color. 3mo
BkClubCare @HodgepodgeandMiscellany - sure, sure. I let my husband eat any if I find in my 🥗 salad. 😉 3mo

I learned of this book from a podcast. The guest was reminding listeners how individuals and churches are called to help the poor and the marginalized and how having secure housing can help stabilize the issues that contribute to homelessness. I was compelled to track down his book. For me his work is a five ⭐️ pick. It is teaching me how a change in perspective and a willingness to do small and big things may make a difference.

“Above all else, homelessness, dehumanizes. It isolates, it discards, and it amplifies fear and anxiety. In your daily interactions with people experiencing homelessness, their homelessness is not truly at stake. Their humanity though is.”
