When you are small you notice things that grown-ups are too busy to see. A young boy shows concern for a homeless person on the street and is pivotal in the adults also starting to care. One day the man disappears. The story finishes positively but realistically. The author states that she doesn’t write as a voice for the homeless, but she writes as a grown-up who hopes that change will come. A sensitive approach and presented beautifully.
