Family Under the Bridge, The : Natalie Savage Carlson
JUVENILE FICTION/Social Themes / Poverty & Homelessness | “A thoroughly delightful story of humor and sentiment. Garth Williams’s illustrations are perfect.” —School Library Journal Armand, an old man living on the streets of Paris, relishes his solitary life in the beautiful city. He is happy with his carefree existence, begging and doing odd jobs to keep himself warm and fed. With simple pleasures and no cares, what more could he need? Then one day, just before Christmas, Armand returns to his favorite spot beneath the bridge to find three cold and hungry children. Although he has no interest in children, Armand soon finds himself caring for the small family, happily sharing his food and his friendship with them. It does not take Armand very long to realize that he now has a new family—and that he must do whatever it takes to get them a real home.
