520    "There are 150 million people experiencing homelessness 
       worldwide, and that number is increasing every year. 
       Homelessness is not a choice, yet it exists in almost 
       every community. But why are people homeless? Who are 
       they? What can you do? In Shelter: Homelessness in Our 
       Community, readers will get answers to these complex 
       questions. They'll learn about the root causes of 
       homelessness and its effects, and what people and 
       organizations around the world are doing to address the 
       problem. It shares the personal stories of people who live
       on the street and the adults and kids who work with them. 
       As a former homeless-shelter worker, author Lois Peterson 
       encourages young people to approach the issue with 
       knowledge and compassion. She dispels some of the myths 
       about homelessness and makes the case for why everyone 
       deserves a safe, permanent place to call home."--|cAmazon
