The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman
BlueBonnet 2020-2021
In THE BRIDGE HOME, 11-year-old Viji and her 12-year-old developmentally disabled sister, Rukku, flee their abusive father and their village in India for the city, where they find friendship and shelter by pitching a makeshift tent atop an abandoned bridge. Soon, like millions of other homeless kids in that part of the world, they're spending their days slogging through piles of trash hoping to find something they can sell to stay alive. With two boys about their age and a stray dog they've rescued, they form their own family, help each other, and have a lot of pride. But the danger is everywhere, from violent people to disease and injury. (Review by Common Sense Media)

Stay by Bobbie Pyron
This is a heartfelt book about a homeless girl and her desire to help a dog named Baby and her owner, Jasmine.
There is no sex, violence, cuss words, or inappropriate content.
I would read this to my 2nd-grade class without a problem.
