I'd planned to recommend a list of contemporary children's books where main characters don't have permanent homes. I always read the books I recommend and annoyingly couldn't get hold of enough books to read in time. These are a few of the many wonderful books that adults should read.

We love to see @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social including Let the Light In on this list. Facing challenging circumstances, siblings, Leah and Charlie manage grief, love, power, money and art to ask what matters most in the end?❤️💙
