The Cardboard Shack Beneath The Bridge: Helping Children Understand Homelessness

By Tim J Huff and Hilary M Weston

This book captures all that Tim has seen in his years working on the street with the homeless in a form children can easily understand. Homelessness has been called one of the greatest tragedies of our time. In an age of prosperity and plenty, hundreds of thousands of people, continue to find themselves homeless. Tim Huff has been called, by several national papers, as “not just another outreach worker, but a tireless activist for the cause of the homeless.”
