Abstract
Increasing numbers of students in U.S. schools are personally affected by homelessness. Students may observe homeless individuals in their community or be homeless themselves. Teachers can use bibliotherapy to help students deal with sensitive issues related to homelessness. In this article we provide an annotated bibliography of children and young adult fiction books portraying homelessness. We also address prominent themes about homelessness as portrayed in these books.
