A Home of Hope

A Children’s Book About One Boy’s Experience Living at a Homeless Shelter

In A Home Of Hope, Jaci Pund tells a story about resilience, community, and what it means to call a place home. A little boy shares about the shelter he calls home for now, the community that supports him, and the strength it has taken for him and his family to persevere.

Written to promote empathy and understanding, this book aims to spark constructive conversations with children about the wide variety of experiences people have with the concept of "home."
