The book that most often comes to mind when I am thinking of economic diversity is Amber was Brave and Essie was Smart by Vera B. Williams. This is the book that speaks to our kids. It reflects the experience of those who must care for themselves after school. To those who don't have enough to eat or are experiencing their families worries about money and jobs. Missing parents who are absent because of drug abuse, mental illness, criminal mistakes and/or divorce as well as travel for work.
