Now she and her mom are moving into their own apartment, away from their friends. Though Lily is a little scared about what comes next, she’s excited, too. Their new neighbor, Mrs. McIntyre, will watch Lily while her mom works and goes to school, and Lily will start day care, where she can learn and play with kids her age. Life is good after the shelter and getting better every day. This simple yet heartfelt tale balances realism with optimism on a topic that can be relatable to children while providing a window to others. A warm and hopeful offering that speaks to both the challenges and joys of starting over can begin a thoughtful conversation in the classroom on the community resources supporting families with needs for shelter. This can be tied in to concepts within Health Education 3 and 4 related to safe and healthy relationships and the role of community in health and well-being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44016152019004,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/71_WaCfyArL._SL1500.jpg?v=1772033857","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/after-the-shelter","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
