In his book “Our House,” Vaggelis Iliopoulos raises the subject of homeless people and respect for their rights: an issue that children encounter everyday on city streets and one that prompts them to ask questions to which we often don’t know how to answer.  The book’s story will help them to respond to this matter with empathy.  The girl who lives in a car with her father will not evoke in them a sense of pity. It will help them to recognize that she is a child like all others who has a right to grow up in a home.
