Miss Pinkeltink's Purse

"The concept of homelessness is brought down to the youngest child's level. This is a nonthreatening and simple introduction to the topic for young children who have no prior exposure to homelessness. Simplistic but heartfelt, earnest, and a discussion starter." -- Kirkus
"...A beautiful example of how we can and should all help each other regardless of our differences. This book fills the need for stories that demonstrate civic engagement, what it might be like to be homeless and all alone in the world, and that one person absolutely can make a difference. -- Starred Review" -- Sandy Kelly, JVFletcher Library, Westford, MA - Youth Services Book Review
"With her patchwork dress, messy gray bun, and reading glasses, Miss Pinkeltink resembles everyone’s favorite granny in this rhyming, warmhearted introduction to charity, social outreach, and homelessness. It includes links to organizations created by young people and helpful tips for families and children interested in making a difference in their communities." -- Foreword Review
