A brown-skinned girl shares a sandwich with a homeless man on the subway then imagines ways to help him in the future. The first-person narration offers an authentic, heartfelt voice, conveying the girl’s curiosity and allowing readers to experience the situation through her innocent yet thoughtful perspective. Digitally enhanced acrylic and watercolor illustrations with loose, expressive lies capture the energy and spontaneity of New York City. A gentle invitation to reflect on the power of small acts of kindness.
