[ISLMA-Share] Books on hunger

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Rich by Nikki Grimes is a short chapter book in which the main character befriends a girl in a homeless shelter.  Hunger not a main theme but touched on.


Great Joy by Kate DiCamillo has a girl and her mother give a meal to a homeless organ grinder.


Stone Soup is a great story about coming together to feed a village where not everyone has enough, but food pooled together makes a meal for all.
