What is a home-really?

Is it just a building... or is it safety, belonging, and the feeling that someone is glad you're there?

The Big Questions: What Is Homelessness? is a calm, age-appropriate guide for children (5-12) and the grown-ups who love them-designed to help families and classrooms talk about a hard subject with honesty, care, and hope.

Written by interdisciplinary psychologist Ethan Solace, this beautifully illustrated book explains:

What homelessness means (and why "home" is more than a house)

How it can happen to anyone, not just one "type" of person

What day-to-day life can be like without stability-explained safely and respectfully

The strength and resilience people show as they cope and keep going

How communities help, and simple ways we can show kindness and support

This isn't a scary book. It's a clear, confident conversation-starter-made to build empathy, widen understanding, and help children see the human story behind the situation.

Because understanding is where kindness begins.
