Still a Family

Brenda Reeves Sturgis

A young girl and her parents lose their home and must live in homeless shelters. Shelter rules mean that the girl and her mother stay apart from her father, who lives in a men’s shelter. The family’s daily circumstances are shaped by this separation, but the story emphasizes that family connection is not limited to living in one place. Childlike drawings depict their experience of homelessness and their effort to remain a family.
