The One with the Scraggly Beard
Elizabeth Withey, Lynn Scurfield (Illustrator)
A child tries to understand the life of a man he has seen sleeping under a bridge, and his mother explains how people’s paths in life can be very different. In this simple narrative, a child’s curiosity and perceptiveness act as catalysts for understanding fear, suffering, and resilience while exploring themes of homelessness, belonging, and compassion.
